Introductory Tenants Clause Samples
The 'Introductory Tenants' clause establishes the initial terms and conditions that apply to tenants at the start of a tenancy agreement. It typically outlines the basic rights and responsibilities of the tenant, such as payment of rent, maintenance obligations, and adherence to property rules. By clearly setting out these foundational expectations, the clause helps prevent misunderstandings and provides a reference point for both parties throughout the tenancy.
Introductory Tenants. 4.2.1 Unless you are transferring from a secure tenancy or certain other types of tenancy, you will start your tenancy as an introductory tenant. This does not give you all the rights of a secure tenancy.
4.2.2 Your introductory tenancy will last for a trial period of 12 months. If, during your introductory tenancy, you breach the conditions that apply to you in this Tenancy Agreement, we can take action to either extend your trial period by a further six months, or end your tenancy by getting a court order.
4.2.3 If you do not break any of the tenancy conditions during this time, you will automatically become a secure tenant on the date written on the Tenancy Agreement (or if this has been extended by a further six months, at the end of the extended trial period of 18 months).
4.2.4 If, during the trial period, we decide to seek possession by issuing court proceedings the tenancy will remain introductory until the court proceedings have been finally determined.
4.2.5 Your responsibilities are the same as those for a secure tenant and are contained within this Tenancy Agreement. However, as an introductory tenant your rights differ from those of secure tenants.

You have the right to ask us to review our decision to get possession of your home but you must do so within 14 days of the date the notice is served on you. We cannot evict you without a court order. However, the court will grant an eviction order if it is satisfied that we have followed the correct legal procedures. We may extend the introductory tenancy for a further six months in certain circumstances (for example, if you have caused antisocial behaviour or if you are behind with your rent). We must serve a notice of extension at least eight weeks before the original date your introductory tenancy is due to end.

If we miss the appointment we will pay you compensation. You have the right to be consulted and share your views on how we manage your home. You have the right to see information about our policies and procedures for managing and maintaining housing, including how we decide who to give homes to, when we allow people to transfer or exchange their homes, or make repairs.
