People living in SFA are not tenants - MOD are the tenants and we live in the properties under license, meaning we probably don't get the usual tenants' rights.

The National Audit Office has a few interesting things to say on the sale of the properties in the first place:

Actually, the more I sit here and Google, the more the whole 'Selling our homes' debacle starts to stink -

It would not surprise me at all if Annington pull the plug and start realising their investment by selling the properties - and there would be nothing we could do about it. Also, since the tenants (MOD) are responsible for the upkeep, repairs and improvements to the properies they lease (bizarre in itself), then it makes financial sense for them to stop paying the rent.
If the rumour at the start of this thread is in any way true then, at the very least, there needs to be a more thorough investigation into the selling of the properties in the first place, and the General Officers involved before and after retirement.
