Inheriting a tenancy

If you die, a partner or close relative who has been living with you can inherit your tenancy (also known as succession). We can advise if someone living with you can inherit your tenancy, but if your home has more bedrooms than they need we’ll always offer another home suitable for their needs.Certain rules apply – please contact us for more information.

When a tenant dies, someone should contact us as soon as possible to see how we can help. They should also provide a copy of the death certificate, along with details of anyone responsible for dealing with their affairs.
