7.1 How would your rights be affected if the transfer goes ahead?
Council tenants have a ?secure tenancy or an "introductory tenancy"'. With THCH you would have an ?assured tenancy´.
The main difference is that as a secure tenant of the Council you have rights which are laid down in law (mainly the Housing Act 1985). As an assured tenant with your rights would be protected by a different law (the Housing Act 1988) and also by your contract (tenancy agreement).
Tenants' rights
The following chart summarises your rights now and shows you the rights you would have after Transfer. Introductory tenants have fewer rights than secure tenants. The table shows which rights introductory tenants do not have with the Council during the 12 month probationary period. On transfer even though they do not have as many rights as a secure tenant, introductory tenants will be given the same tenancy agreement as secure tenants.
