We can’t just remove ‘a party’ from your tenancy. This can only be done by:

• Written agreement of all joint tenants.
• A Court Order as part of family proceedings.
• By succession.  

A request to add a person to your tenancy must be put in writing to your estate manager. You must be able to show that the person has been living in your home for 12 months before you ask for them to become a tenant. The request won’t be considered if there are rent arrears or you have broken the terms of your tenancy.

You should speak to your estate manager before asking for a person to be added or removed from your tenancy to discuss any possible legal implications.  

If you get married and change your name you must show us your marriage certificate before we can change your name on your tenancy.

You must tell us of the birth of any children or if somebody moves in with you on a permanent basis. They will be added to the occupancy records for your tenancy.

You must also tell us if somebody leaves or stops living with you at the property/your home. Their details will then be removed from the occupancy records.

You must give us four weeks written notice to end your tenancy. This is called a Notice to Quit. A blank Notice to Quit is in the back of your tenancy agreement.
