Maintenance and modifications

If you want to carry out changes or improvements to your home, you must get written permission from your housing officer.

Leaseholders, shared owners and homeowners

Home owners are residents who own part or all of a Magna Housing home. This includes people who've bought a shared ownership home and leaseholders who've bought their home through the right to buy or right to acquire schemes.

Rent

Our income management team is here to help and give advice on benefits, payments due and arrears.

Antisocial behaviour

We are committed to fair treatment for all, and believe that everyone must be given an equal chance to live, work and learn free from discrimination, prejudice and harassment.

Waste disposal and recycling

Magna deals with large amounts of hazardous and non hazardous waste each year. The law means we have to separate waste into categories before we can dispose of, or recycle, it. Magna is charged about £100,000 a year for this.

Your Safety

The safety of you and your home is really important to us.

Pets

Lots of people like to have pets, but it’s important that pet owners are responsible for them.
