Dear Residents,

Coronavirus update

Islington Council follows the latest government and public health guidance around social distancing, so though the Choice Based Lettings system will be the same, we have looked at new ways to conduct viewings and tenancy sign-ups; inspect properties for vacating tenants; and prepare homes to be relet in a way that keeps residents and staff safe.

We will continue to allocate housing in line with the council’s  Allocation Scheme.

Further information about how Choice Based Lettings will continue can be found in the attached Frequently Asked Questions that can be found here. 

If you have any questions, please contact the Rehousing team by email on  [email protected]
