Council Tenants Information
Tenant information
Utilities for your new tenancy are provided by British Gas who will set up every new Moray Council tenant on a standard tariff. Once the new tenancy has been confirmed, British Gas will send you a welcome letter advising you to call them discuss your options or go online to see which tariffs are available and might suit you best.More information can be found using the following British Gas links:
