definition in clause 1.29). The number of times this
can happen to a tenancy is limited to one succession.
The following people can succeed to the tenancy:
• a surviving joint tenant
• Your surviving spouse or civil partner provided
that there has been no previous succession and
your spouse or civil partner is living with you at
the time of your death
• If there is no surviving joint tenant, spouse or
civil partner the tenancy may be granted to
another member of your family (see definition in
clause 1.29), if that person is living with you at
the time of your death and has been living with
you for a least twelve months prior to your
death and again there has been no previous
succession
• All other cases will be considered at the
council’s discretion.
