There are circumstances in which another person could take over a tenancy, this would depend on the following criteria being met:

• By succession – where a partner or close member of the family who lives with you might be able to become the tenant in the event of your death.

• By assignment – where you might be able to nominate a partner or close member of the family who lives with you to become the tenant instead of you.

There is an application process that you need to go through to make change to a tenancy so please contact us to discuss this. 

To find out more about what you need to do in any of these situations please contact us using Connect, our customer portal or Live Chat, and we'd be happy to provide more information.
