Bexley Homechoice

Who Can Use The Service

To be able to use Bexley HomeChoice you will need to be accepted and approved on the London Borough of Bexley's Housing or Transfer Register.

Anyone can apply to join the Bexley Housing Register and any current tenant of Orbit South or L&Q, currently living in Bexley, can apply to join the Transfer Register.

To be accepted onto the Bexley Housing Register there are a number of eligibility criteria you will need to meet.

You may be excluded from the Housing Register if:

You are from abroad and subject to immigration control under the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996 unless you are an assured tenant of housing allocated by the Council or in a class prescribed as eligible in regulations made by the Secretary of State.

You are guilty of unacceptable behaviour such as:

• Failing to pay the rent
• Breaching a condition of your tenancy agreement
• Causing nuisance or annoyance to neighbours
• Assaulting a member of Bexley or Housing Association staff
• Being convicted of an arrestable offence either in or in the vicinity of your home
• Causing a property to deteriorate in condition by a deliberate act or by neglect
• Making a false statement to obtain a tenancy

If you are applying to join the Transfer Register you would normally be expected to:

• Have been a tenant of Orbit South or L&Q in Bexley for at least 12 months
• Have a clear rent account
• Have kept your property in reasonable decorative condition
