BENEFITNOW ACCOUNT HOW TO
If the property has gas central heating then an engineer will need to visit to test the boiler and show you how to use the heating and hot water system. This then becomes a legally binding document. Your tenancy agreement will be signed by a representative from Platform Housing and will be returned to you by email. If you are face to face we will give you the keys during the appointment. If your appointment is via the telephone once the call is finished you are able to keep the keys and start moving in. You will be asked whether you wish to accept the home and if you do then the Neighbourhood Officer will need to finalise some details with you either face-to-face or over the telephone. The Neighbourhood Officer will answer any queries that you may have so please make sure to tell us if your mobile number changes.
