Please note this form only applies to our tenants. Leaseholders are not allowed to run a business from home and should refer to the terms of their lease.

The business must be legal, and there should be no safety risk or chance of your neighbours being disturbed. 

Certain types of businesses are not allowed, such as vehicle maintenance, running a taxi service or using your home as a bed and breakfast establishment.

You'll need to operate your business within the terms of your tenancy agreement and any conditions we specify when we give you permission. You will also be responsible for obtaining appropriate business insurance and all necessary licences, registrations or trade memberships.
