Rent arrears

Interventions are the same for introductory and secure tenants however different notices are served before legal proceedings:

• Secure tenants are served with a Notice of Seeking Possession (NOSP)
• Introductory tenants are served with a Notice of possession proceedings of an introductory tenancy (NPIT)

Anti-social behaviour & other tenancy condition breaches

Council policies and guidelines for addressing anti-social behaviour apply in the same way to both introductory and secure tenancies.

Introductory tenancies can be repossessed more easily than secure tenancies but the circumstances in which a tenancy should be repossessed are the same.
