- Temporary Relocation During Repairs policy
Sometimes, residents may need to move out temporarily because essential repairs or improvements cannot be carried out safely while they're living at home.
This policy explains when a temporary move may be needed, how we'll support residents, minimise disruption and help them return home as soon as possible.
