choose 'n' move

Kirklees Council acts as a managing agent for several private landlords and currently is letting several high-quality three-bedroom properties, and one two bedroom property in Chickenley. 

To apply for these properties, applicants must meet specific requirements, such as having a combined annual household income of at least four times the annual rent of the property, being in permanent employment, having no outstanding debt or criminal convictions, and having lived in Kirklees for six months with leave to remain in the country. 

These privately rented properties provide a great opportunity for those looking for a place to call home. Interested residents can find more information on the eligibility criteria and properties available on the council's website.

For more information about eligibility and how to apply, visit www.kirklees.gov.uk/properties.

Please ensure you follow the instructions and supply all the information requested

We encourage all applicants to only bid on properties in areas that they are familiar with and therefore, urge you to read thoroughly the property descriptions before placing a bid.

Please note property viewings are appointment only, contact our Support and Information Team (SIT) on 01484 414886

The Pet Policy came into effect on 22 June 2020 and sets out Kirklees Councils (KC) approach to the keeping of pets in Council accommodation

Permission will be required to keep cats or dogs in Council accommodation. Below is a summary of the pets allowed in properties, full information is available on Keeping pets | Kirklees Council 

• Permission will be required to keep pets in council accommodation, and this applies if you are already or tenant, or looking to become a tenant in the future
   
• Some of our flats do not allow dogs, so please check out the policy before bidding on a property on Choose N Move.
   
• Before we make an offer of a property, we will check that the number of pets you own complies with the Policy. If not, then we will be unable to proceed with the offer of accommodation
   
• Permission will normally be granted provided there are no restrictions on the property, the pets are looked after, and conditions of your tenancy agreement are being met

A Good Pet Keeping Guide is available for advice and support – please visit https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets

If you are already a tenant you can call, email, or click the contact us button to request a copy of the policy and the permission form. Eventually tenants will be able to access this via their MyKirklees account. We will update you when tenants can do this.
