This housing advice booklet gives information about the rights housing association tenants have, including people whose homes have been transferred from the council to a housing association.

It also explains how to apply for a housing association tenancy.

Please note: If you buy a home from a housing association (eg as part of a shared ownership scheme or a leasehold scheme for the elderly) you have very different rights, which are not covered in this booklet.
