For example, if you join on 10 October 2009, your re-registration letter will be sent to you in the first week of November 2010.
If we do not receive your re-registration form within 15 days a reminder letter will be sent to you. If your re-registration form is not renewed 15 days after that, your application will be cancelled. It is the applicants responsibility to re-register annually.
You may wish to change your areas of choice or the property types you wish to be considered for. Any changes to your preferences must be made in writing. Please complete a housing preferences form which can be found below, sign and date it and return it to the Housing Needs Team.
