What to do if we ask you to leave your home

Eviction is always a last resort for First Choice Homes Oldham and we will only ask you to leave your home if the terms of your tenancy agreement are breached. This could include, for example, not paying rent and not engaging with us to resolve the situation, serious antisocial behaviour or criminal activity, or not using your home as your main residence. For full details, please refer to your tenancy agreement.

Our priority is to help you keep your home. We are committed to sustaining tenancies by offering tailored support, which may include a range of interventions, referrals to specialist services, and ongoing offers of assistance before any legal action is considered. We also follow the Pre-Action Protocol for Possession Claims by Social Landlords, ensuring early engagement, clear communication, and careful consideration of any vulnerabilities before progressing to court.

If you are finding it difficult to maintain your tenancy, it’s never too late to contact us. We are here to help. Please call us on 0161 393 7117.
