Council Housing Tenant Handbook

About Wiltshire Council Housing

Wiltshire Council owns over 5,000 properties mainly in the Salisbury and South Wiltshire area that are rented to tenants. Each property has a dedicated team of officers to manage all aspects of a tenancy, as well as providing support and advice.

We have designed this handbook to give you information about what it means to be our tenant, including your rights and responsibilities as well as ours.

Along with your tenancy agreement, this handbook will help you answer some of the questions you may have about your tenancy and your home. It also has details of whom to contact for information and advice. Our officers will do everything they can to work with you to make sure any problems are resolved.
