As well as applying to transfer to another council property, existing South Ayrshire Council tenants can apply for a mutual exchange with the following people:
If two or more tenants wish to swap houses, each tenant must request this in writing from their own landlord, by completing a Mutual Exchange Request Form. For South Ayrshire Council tenants, this form is available from their local Area Housing Office.
When a request for mutual exchange is submitted, the Council must make a decision on whether the exchange can go ahead within 1 month of the request being made.
Where one of the tenants wishing to exchange is a tenant of another landlord, the Council will require the agreement of that landlord and a satisfactory tenancy reference for that tenant.
Important Note:
In order for a mutual exchange to be approved by the Council, neither of the tenants involved should be in breach of their current tenancy agreement, e.g. rent account in arrears or subject tot legal action for anti-social behaviour.
The accommodation that a tenant wishes to move to must also be suitable in terms of size and medical requirements.
