Temporary accommodation

What happens when I leave?

You must tell us if you leave your temporary accommodation.  If you leave without contacting us, the council may end its duty to house you and you will still be charged for the accommodation.

If you have found long-term accommodation in the Private Rented Sector or been offered a property through Coventry Homefinder, once you have the keys to your new home you will have to leave your temporary accommodation.

You must:

• Leave the property in a clean and tidy condition and remove all rubbish.
• Take all your belongings from the property
• Return the keys to the accommodation provider
• Take gas and electricity meter readings, and let your suppliers know you have moved, if bills are not included in your accommodation cost
• Tell council tax so they can change your details to your new address.
