Family Intervention Tenancy Notice — landlord obligations in England
If you are a registered provider of social housing granting a family intervention tenancy, you must serve a notice with specific information before the tenancy starts. This tenancy type is only available to social landlords, not ordinary private landlords. If the notice is not served, the tenancy is not a family intervention tenancy.
