You could pass it to:
- your husband, wife or partner (including same sex couples and civil partners)
- your son, daughter, parent, grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece. This relative must have lived with you for the previous year as their only home - we will need to see evidence of this
A tenancy cannot be assigned to friends who live in the property.
We must give permission before a tenancy can be assigned to someone else.
Lodgers
Secure tenants have the right to take in lodgers, subject to the following:
- there must be no overcrowding
- if you receive housing benefit, you must inform us so that we can re-assess your benefit
- your lodger will not have security of tenure
- you will be responsible for legally evicting your lodger if you want them to leave
- you will be responsible for the behaviour of your lodger and may be liable if they breach any of the terms of your tenancy
