Death of a customer (succession)
Published on:
When you die your tenancy will usually pass to a joint tenant. If there’s no joint tenant, your partner or someone in your household may sometimes be able to take over the tenancy. This is called ‘a succession’. A succession can only happen once and the criteria set out in your tenancy must have been met. The neighbourhood officer must be contacted as soon as possible following the death of a tenant and they’ll give you advice.
