Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

Join us for a special online engagement session hosted by the Leaders of Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils on Thursday 3 July from 7pm to 8pm via Microsoft Teams. We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

Prioritising applications

Can the landlord refuse my application?

Yes. This may be for a variety of reasons.

These could be:

  • you owe rent or have other housing related debts
  • you are a council or housing association tenant and legal action has been taken against you because you have breached the terms of your tenancy agreement
  • you have resources to solve your own housing problems
  • you have not provided the required documents to support your application by the date given
  • your circumstances have changed and this results in a reduction in your level of priority
  • you have provided incorrect or misleading information
  • you do not meet the criteria set out in the advert of the house
