Decanting (Rehousing)
Decanting is a process that takes place when works are required to your Council home and it is decided that it is not safe for you to stay whilst they are carried out. We may ask you to move to alternative accommodation and we call this "decanting".
You may also be decanted if an emergency made your home uninhabitable e.g. fire, flood.
If you do have to go through this process, a Hackney Homes Decant Officer will consult with you and work with you to arrange such a move.
This booklet explains your rights as a tenant being rehoused, the options available to you and how Hackney Homes will help you through the decanting process.
To help us progress with our service quality improvement programme, we would greatly appreciate you taking a few minutes to complete the following questions.
We hope this information is useful for you. If you have any queries or issues related to the decanting process, please contact the Hackney Homes Decant team.
