The Co-operative Housing Tenure Bill aims to change how homes owned by certain co-operatives are occupied. It would replace occupation under tenancy or other property interests with occupancy that comes from membership in the co-operative, creating a new co-operative tenure. It also sets out the rights and duties of the co-operative and its members under this system and includes related provisions to support it.

Key Points

  • Creates a new form of occupancy called co-operative tenure where occupancy arises from membership, not tenancy or other property rights.
  • Applies to dwellings owned by certain forms of co-operatives.
  • Sets out the rights and duties of the co-operative and its members in relation to occupancy.
  • Establishes governance and management rules for co-operatives under this tenure.
  • Includes connected provisions to support and implement the tenure.

Progress

The bill is at the Commons' second reading stage. Its first reading took place on 2 April 2025, and it is progressing through Parliament.

Co-operative Housing Tenure Bill

3 Apr 2025

The 2024-2026 session of Parliament has come to an end so the House of Commons is now prorogued until the next session begins on 13 May 2026. Prorogation is the formal end to the parliamentary year.

This Bill will therefore make no further progress.
