Transfers for council tenants

If you are an existing Brent Council tenant wishing to move to another property you may be eligible for a transfer.

Eligibility

You can apply for a transfer regardless of how long you have been a tenant or whether or not you have any rent arrears.

However, you would not qualify for an offer if you fall into one of the following categories:

• you have not held your tenancy for at least twelve months
• you are in arrears in excess of six weeks gross rent

How to apply

You need to complete a transfer application form
