Secure council tenancies can be downgraded to a demoted tenancy:

• If you have behaved anti socially or threatened to do so or used your home for illegal activities;
• demoted tenancies are very similar to introductory tenancies and normally act as a one year trial period;
• you will have more limited rights and less protection from eviction that a secure tenant for example you will not have the right to take in lodgers or buy your home;
• we will carry out most repairs;
• as long as you don't cause a nuisance or break your tenancy agreement in other ways during this trial period, you should automatically become a secure tenant again after twelve months.
