Living in flats
Here you will find useful information for those living in high rise blocks (4 storeys or more), low rise blocks (3 storeys or less) and converted blocks (e.g. houses converted into several self-contained flats).
Right to occupy
We will not interrupt or interfere with your right to peacefully occupy your home except where:
- Access is required subject to reasonable notice (e.g. to inspect the condition of your home, carry out repairs or other works, or to carry out an annual tenancy audit).
- We are entitled to possession at the end of the tenancy.
- We want to check on your safety or welfare, where there is cause for.
In your home, you will have one of two types of window, either a ‘tilt and turn’ window or a ‘UPVC casement’ window. Depending on the type of window you have, please refer to the guidance below.
