Assignment of your tenancy

In certain circumstances, secure tenants may have the right to assign their tenancy to another person.

Secure tenancies granted before 1 April 2012 can be transferred or passed on only once. For example, if you take over a tenancy when someone dies, you can’t pass on the tenancy to someone else when you die.

Some secure and flexible tenancies granted from 1 April 2012 may mean you can transfer or pass on your tenancy more than once - please check your tenancy agreement for details.

Contact your Neighbourhood Manager for advice or more details.
