Summary

As part of the Citizen's Charter scheme, a new Right to Compensation for council tenants was introduced for home
improvements from 1 April 1994. If you are a council tenant (a resident, not a business tenant) and your tenancy is ending, you may be able to get compensation from your council for improvements you have made to your home. You can apply for compensation when your tenancy ends -which is usually when you move. You can also apply if you get a new landlord.
