Tiverton tenants invited to attend downsizing event

Tiverton tenants of social landlords could be eligible for a downsizing cash incentive scheme if they are planning to move to a smaller home.

Mid Devon District Council is hosting an event for Tiverton tenants to find out more about the scheme. If tenants are planning to move, there will also be advice on how to go about it. Guidance will be available on how to register with Devon Home Choice where Council and housing association homes available to rent are advertised. Staff will also be on hand to provide information about home swapping and help with registering on Homeswapper site.

Sandra Hunt, Tenant Involvement Manager, said, "This is a great opportunity for tenants to pop in to find out everything they need to know about moving, either now or in the future. Staff from all sections of the Housing service will be available to answer any questions tenants may have and they can come along at a time that suits them during the afternoon and early evening. "

The event is on Thursday 28 February at the Town Hall, Tiverton. Tenants are invited to drop in any time between 2pm and 7pm when Housing staff will be able to answer questions.
