Tenancy Succession Sample Clauses

Tenancy Succession. Succession is where your tenancy passes on to someone after your death. If you have a joint tenancy and one of you dies, the tenancy will pass to the other joint tenant and this will count as a statutory succession. If your tenancy passed to you when the previous tenant died, no one else has the right to succeed or take over your tenancy. Statutory succession rights for Secure and Flexible Tenants are set out in the Housing ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (sections 86A to 89) and for Introductory Tenants are set out in the Housing ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (sections 131 to 133). These rights can be summarised as follows: (a) If you became a Secure Tenant before 1 April 2012 or an Introductory Tenant at any time then when you die your tenancy will pass to your husband, wife or civil partner if they are living with you in your home as their only or principal home at the time of your death. If this condition is not satisfied when you die, then your tenancy can pass to another member of your family who has been living with you for at least 12 months before your death. Family members include your parents, grandparents, child, grandchild, brother, sister, uncle, aunt nephew or niece, but do not include ▇▇▇▇▇▇ children. (b) If you became a Secure or Flexible Tenant on or after 1 April 2012, then your tenancy can only pass to your husband, wife, civil partner, or a person who lives with you as if they were a husband, wife or civil partner if they were living with you at your home at the time of your death. (c) You do not have any succession rights.
