Re: transfer of tenancy.

Depends on lots of things.

Did you move in when the tency first commenced.
Was you under 18 at this point.

I think the council will have to rehouse you, but wither you can take on the existing tenancy is down to a few factors, The above 2 being the most important.

Re: transfer of tenancy.

Hi

am fairly sure they have to rehouse you, have they given you notice, ort just said so on the phone. You commenced the tanancy with them as a family member, so you have good reason to ask for it,

There is no yes or no answer to this,

First, is the property adapted for older people or in a block/area for OAPs or assisted living
Also, have there ever been any complaints or whats your relationship with the HA like

If its a 2 bed property, i would imaging that the HA may use that to ask you to move .. unless you have kids

What are they saying ( housing asss ) at the moment
