Transfer of Tenancy form

You will need to complete a 'Transfer of Tenancy' form when you want to request a change to your tenancy agreement. For example, you may wish to change the tenancy for the following reasons:

  • You wish to change the tenancy from sole to joint, because you are now married or a partner is living with you and you want to become joint tenants, or one of the joint tenants has passed away.
  • You have changed your name by deed poll or marriage

You will need to provide documentation with your application form. Depending on the reason for the transfer of tenancy, you will need to provide:

  • A copy of the death certificate if a tenant has died
  • A copy of your marriage certificate (to change your name on your tenancy or to change the tenancy from sole to joint)
  • Proof of residency such as copies of council tax/household bills or DSS letters for at least 12 months (to change the tenancy from sole to joint)
  • A copy of the deed poll certificate if you have changed your name by deed poll
  • A copy of your decree nisi/court order of the tenancy has been awarded to one tenant by the court

You will need to visit your local housing reception and meet with your Estate Manager to discuss changes to your tenancy agreement. You should always let us know if there are any changes to your household - see also Change of Circumstances for more information.

Termination of Tenancy form

This form can be used if you are ending the tenancy on a property or garage you rent from us. You must give at least 4 weeks notice that you are ending the property.

You should also provide us with your new address or your address if you are the next of kin of the tenant. If you are acting on behalf of a tenant that has died, you will be asked to provide a copy of the Death Certificate.

You should clear any arrears you may have on any current or former rent accounts. We will actively pursue any outstanding arrears on a former tenancy if you have not paid your account up to date.

Mutual Exchange form

If you have found a partner to exchange properties with, you must complete the Mutual Exchange form. Even if both of you are Hounslow Homes tenants, you both need to complete a form.

If your exchange partner has a different landlord, they must get a form from their landlord to complete. Once the forms have been returned, the landlords will contact each other.

For important information on mutual exchange, we strongly recommend you visit the Mutual Exchange page.

If you have further questions about mutual exchange, contact the Customer Service Centre on 0800 085 65 75 or visit your local housing reception for advice.

Application to rent a garage

You can apply to rent a garage from us if you are a tenant, leaseholder or even a private resident of Hounslow. For further information on renting a garage from us, visit the Rent a Garage page.

You will need to provide us with copies of any relevant documentation, such as:

A copy of your blue badge if you are registered disabled

Please note that garages can only be used for the storage of motorised vehicles. You cannot rent a garage if you are a council tenant and in arrears. For more information and lists of available areas see the Rent a Garage page.

Change of Circumstances form

A change of circumstances will need to be completed if there has been a change to your household. For example:

  • You have had a baby or other children are coming to live with you
  • You are adding a wife/husband or partner who is now living with you
  • You want to add other occupants to the household
  • You want to remove occupants that have left the household

Always tell us if there has been a change in your household. If you apply to transfer from one property to another or to exchange properties, the number of people living in your home could affect your application if we have not been told about any changes. Your application will be delayed if you do not complete and return this form to us. We may also carry out a tenancy check to confirm who is living in your home.

For more information, see also 'Change of circumstances' page.

Seaside and country homes scheme

To be eligible for the scheme the main applicant in your household (the tenancy holder) should be aged 60 or over. Higher preference is given to persons who will be giving up the largest accomodation. You must have your application agreed by your Estate Manager and your personal circumstances will be considered.

Additional notes about the scheme

Garden Maintenance Application Form

This scheme provides a very basic gardening provision to tenants that need assistance to help them maintain their garden, have no one else who can do it for them and cannot afford to employ a private contractor. This is a limited scheme that is only open to those with the severest need, therefore if you meet the qualifications above your application will be considered.

Please note that the maintenance consists of grass cutting and some light pruning only. You may be placed on a waiting list if there are no places available in your area for the scheme.
