Managing tenancies is the core business of all social landlords. It concerns the relationship between a tenant and a landlord from tenancy sign up until the tenancy ends, for whatever reason. It is essential for everyone involved in any aspect of managing tenancies to understand the rights and responsibilities of both parties.
