Council house tenancies

The Highland Council owns and manages about 13,700 houses in the Highlands.

We are currently working hard to bring all our houses up to the Scottish Housing Quality Standard by 2015.  You can see the latest Standard Delivery Plan report for achieving this under "Current Documents".
