You must advise us immediately and complete the “change of circumstances” form which is available from all our housing offices.

Where your change in circumstances leads to a higher priority banding, your registration date becomes the date you advised us of your change in circumstances.  However, where your change of circumstances leads to a lower banding, then your original registration date will be used.

You will need to provide independent evidence from South Wales Police.   This evidence will be considered by the Rehousing Circumstances Panel, who will decide whether any priority should be awarded.

Yes.  Where there is evidence of previous unacceptable behaviour, you may be suspended from the register and not be able to make any bids.  Similarly, if you are an existing tenant of either the council or another social landlord, and you have broken the conditions of tenancy (e.g.non-payment of rent, condition of property) then you will not be placed in any specific band until the problem is resolved to the landlords’ satisfaction.

There is a right of appeal against these decisions, which must be made in writing within 28 days of notification of the decision.

The following table provides an indication of the size and type of property that different bandings can bid for:
