Rehousing duty
About rehousing duty
This is also known as a 'main duty'. This means that the council must make you an offer of suitable long-term housing.
This could be an offer of private rented sector housing for 12 months or more, or an offer of socially rented housing. Until a long term offer is made, we must find suitable temporary housing if needed.
How long rehousing takes
The shortage of housing in the city means that you may be waiting a long time for your permanent offer. This is especially if your household requires a large property.
To avoid a long wait, you should consider all other housing options.
