You need to contact Rugby Borough Council and request a mutual exchange application form. It will need to be completed by you, as Rugby Borough Councils current tenant, and also the potential incoming tenant. This should be returned to Rugby Borough Council for the attention of your Housing Officer.
Once your Housing Officer has received your application they will have 42days in which to complete their checks and assessments before issuing a final decision. The 42 day deadline does not mean that you have to have moved within that time period but a decision from the Landlord must be given within that timeframe.
Failure to do this would result in the process needing to be re-started. The Housing Officer will complete vigorous checks to ensure your eligibility, check the condition of our current property, complete Landlord reference request for the incoming tenant and carry out gas and electric checks.
