household or your visitors are involved in anti

If the court orders that your tenancy be demoted,
your secure tenancy will come to an end from that
date and will be replaced by a demoted tenancy.
As a demoted tenant, you will have limited rights
and less protection from eviction than a secure
tenant.
If your tenancy is demoted you will not have the
right to:
• Apply for the right to buy your property
• Sub-let part of the property or take in a
lodger
• Apply to exchange your property
• Improve or alter your home, or seek
compensation for improvements
Besides the four exceptions mentioned above,
once the tenancy is demoted all the other terms
and conditions of your tenancy will apply unless
the court orders otherwise.
If you do not cause any further nuisance or break
your tenancy agreement in any other way, you will
automatically become a secure tenant again after
twelve months.
However if there are further breaches following
the Demotion Order, we may take steps to evict
you from your home.
