Ending your tenancy if you are in receipt of Universal Credit
If you are in receipt of Universal credit and are thinking of ending your tenancy, before submitting your termination notice, please contact your Rent Officer on 01204 328000 to discuss your tenancy end date.
The tenancy end date will affect the amount of Housing Costs you get in your last month, so its really important to discuss this with us before ending your tenancy as you may not receive all your Housing Costs in the last month of your tenancy.

Quick check list for ending your tenancy
There is a lot to do when moving. We hope this quick check list will be a helpful reminder of you what you need to do:
Final Inspection
Once you have left the property, we will conduct a full inspection and assess for repairs or damage.
If any repairs are needed as a result of wilful or accidental damage or alterations for which you did not have permission, there will be charges for the cost of repairs.
We will also charge to remove any rubbish or unwanted belongings left behind.
