Your home

You must get our written permission before installing satellite or cable TV. If you’ve installed it without permission, then we may ask you to remove, refit or replace it - or to pay for us to do this. Call us first on 0300 123 3456 (option 2).

If it’s a caged bird or a fish in a tank, then yes, you can. But if it’s a cat, or a dog, or another pet, then you’ll need to get our written permission first.

We usually say yes, but you must be a responsible pet owner. This means picking up after your dog, and keeping your pet under control.

We will, however, refuse permission if you ask us to keep any dog that is covered by the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, or any other dog that appears to have been bred for fighting.

Before you buy a pet, call us first on 0300 123 3456 (option 2).

No: if you have a large item you need taken away, please contact your local council.

No. You have to ask us first. If you pass on, or assign, your tenancy to someone else without asking us first, we will take legal action against you.

You can change the locks on your front door, or fit window locks. You must not fit locks to a front door that leads to someone else’s home without contacting us first. Call us on 0300 123 3456 (option 2) if you need to talk about this.

If you want to take in a lodger, then you need to get our permission first. Please call us on 0300 123 3456 (option 2) to discuss this first.

If you, or your parents, or someone else you know, is finding living at home difficult, because of their age or they have a disability, then we probably can help. Call us on 0300 123 3456 (option 2) and ask us to tell you about the extra support that we can help you with.

Many people contact us directly to find out if they can become a tenant: please note, we don’t take any applications directly.

To become a Family Mosaic tenant, you’ll first need to contact your local council and ask to be placed on their housing list.

Waiting lists are long especially in London but your local council will be able to advise you.

If you want to find out what’s going on in your local area, have a look at the latest updates from our Neighbourhood Managers.

If you want to find out when we’re holding an event in your local area – whether it’s training opportunities, information about your benefits rights or football training – have a look at the events guide.

If you want to arrange a meeting with your Neighbourhood Manager, call us on 0300 123 3456 (option 2). Appointments in your home will be in the morning or afternoon: there are also some evening appointments available if you can’t be at home during the day.
