We recognise that following the death of a tenant, their family members will be upset and grieving and that any requests for succession need to be handled with sensitivity and care.

Our succession policy explains;

  • Who can succeed

  • The difference between survivorship and other succession

  • Statutory succession

  • Contractual succession under the terms of the tenancy agreement

  • When and how we may exercise discretion when there is no right to succeed

  • What happens when there is no right to succeed

  • How tenancies can be assigned

  • The appeals process.
