How to make a claim for succession
Fill in our online form to get the process started for succeeding a tenancy.
We have the right to review and decline a decision to grant a succession and this will normally be made by a senior officer to the officer who made the original decision.
If a child succeeds their parent's tenancy, we or an adult will hold the tenancy in a trust until the child reaches the age of 18.
When the successor takes the tenancy, it is not a new tenancy because the successor is taking over the original tenancy. The legal interest in the property and the obligations of the tenancy (both the rights and responsibilities) pass to the successor.
