To transfer to another home managed by us or another housing provider you need to apply through Kent Homechoice.

You can only transfer if:

  • you have a particular need (such as you're overcrowded or someone who lives with you has a medical problem)
  • you don't owe us any rent
  • your home is in good condition
  • you haven't been responsible for any anti-social behaviour
  • you haven't broken your tenancy agreement

How to apply for a transfer

Before you start, you'll need to:

  • have lived in your home for more than a year
  • be on a protected or assured tenancy

To apply;

  1. visit Kent Homechoice, or download the mobile app - for iPhone or Android
  2. register for an account

What happens next

  1. After you've applied we'll see if you can move and take a look around your home.
  2. Next, your local council will give your application a banding, which will show how much priority you'll get and allow you to start bidding.
