FURNISHED TENANCIES
Eildon Housing Association has a small number of properties where we have provided items such as carpets, curtains or white goods. These properties are usually let as shared accommodation.
With these properties, there is a small service charge included in the rent to cover the cost of maintenance and replacement of these items.
Transfers
If your current home is unsuitable for you, we will try to help you transfer to another Eildon Housing Association property. If you wish to transfer, contact your housing officer to arrange a time to discuss your request.
Mutual exchanges
You may want to move by swapping your home with another tenant of Eildon Housing Association. You can also apply to exchange with the tenant of another housing association or local authority.
If you want to find an exchange, you can search for people interested in exchanging with you all over the UK, by using the Homeswapper website.
Homeswapper uses the details you supply to automatically match you
to other interested tenants. Use Homeswapper by logging onto www. HomeSwapper.co.uk and registering to use the service.
When you have identified a person
to exchange with, both parties
must complete a mutual exchange application form. We will then make a home visit and contact your landlord, before making a decision.
If you need furniture, charities can also help. They will also appreciate furniture you don’t need if you are moving on.
For more information about start-up packs or second-hand furniture, please speak to your housing officer.
