Change of circumstances

If you have a change of circumstance to your housing application you can let us know in the following ways.

• If you have had a baby, send a copy of the full birth certificate to PO BOX 82074, N1P 3XH.

• If there has been a relationship breakdown, a death in your family or that children have left home, you should email your housing register officer (see below for who to contact), call us on 020 7527 4140 option 2, or write to us at Islington Council, Rehousing team, PO BOX 82074, N1P 3XH.

• If you want to tell us about a new partner or new adults joining your family you will need to notify your current landlord so that they can authorise them as members of your household.

• If you have moved address in Islington and want to remain on the housing register you will need to complete a change of circumstances form. 

Once we have received your information we will assess your housing application again and write to you with the outcome. This can take up to 6 weeks.

We cannot house most people once they become homeless. Our priority is to help you avoid becoming homeless in the first place. Find out what to do if you are concerned about homelessness.

Documents for your application

You should send any documents that your housing register officer has asked for in support of your housing application to: 

• Email: housing.frontoffice@islington.gov.uk
• Post: Islington Council, Rehousing team, PO BOX, 82074, N1P 3XH

This makes sure that your documents are added to your housing application.

Contacting your housing register officer

Your housing register officer is based on the first letter of your address, such as the first letter of your street name or block name. For example, if your street or block name starts with B, your officer will cover addresses starting with B.
