Rehousing options
If your circumstances change and you would ideally like to move, you have a number of options:
- Get a transfer
- Make a mutual exchange
- Register with the Local Authority
If you are an Ekaya resident, you can apply for either a mutual exchange or a transfer to another Ekaya home from your current location.
Residents may want to transfer for a variety of reasons including:
- Need for relocation, such as job move or change in personal relationships
- A disability or medical reason
- Lifestyle changes, such as retirement
- Harassment
- Domestic violence
- Affordability
- Change in family size
Mutual Exchange
A mutual exchange lets you exchange your home with another Ekaya resident, or with a resident from another housing association or council almost anywhere in the country. To arrange an exchange, contact your council’s housing office or any housing associations with suitable properties in the area you wish to move to.
As long as you do not have rent arrears and your home is suitable for the people you wish to exchange with, we will normally agree to a mutual exchange.
