Exchange Applications 42 days |
The Housing Act 1985 states that all Registered Social Landlords have a maximum of 42 days which includes weekends and public holidays to reach a decision with regard to a mutual exchange application from the date it is handed into the office of the tenant who wishes to exchange.
The only exception to this is when a landlord notifies a tenant in writing of a problem relating to one of the ten grounds that an application to exchange can be refused upon. Only In these circumstances can the 42 day ruling restart from the date of the written confirmation. Tenants should never complete an exchange without permission from all landlords involved with the property exchange. Tenants that do so may loose their secure and assured tenancy rights, receive a fine and their loose home. Read the complete extract of the Housing Act
