Secure Tenancies. If you are a secure tenant, it means that you can keep your property for as long as you want unless there is a legal reason for us to repossess your property. These legal reasons are called ‘grounds for possession’ and are found in the Housing Act 1985. For us to either gain possession of your property or make you move to another property, a county court must agree with our request. Your local office can give you more information on the grounds for possession, but the most likely grounds would be where: • you have fallen behind with your rent payments; • you have broken your tenancy agreement in relation to antisocial behaviour; • you have given false information in your housing application. We can take legal action (for example, an injunction or demote your tenancy) to order you to meet any part of the tenancy agreement.
