To remove a joint tenant, both parties must agree with this. The departing tenant will assign their tenancy rights to the remaining tenant, this means they will no longer have any rights as a WCHG tenant and their tenancy will end from the date of the assignment.

If both parties do not agree, you will need to seek your own independent legal advice.

However, please take note of the following before you submit your application:

• If you are already a joint tenant with the person who has passed away, you automatically succeed to the tenancy under ‘survivorship’. In order to update the tenancy, we will require a copy of the death certificate.

• If you are not on the tenancy but are the partner/spouse of the person who has passed away we will require evidence that you have lived at the property as the partner/spouse for at least 6 months. You will need to provide evidence of this & a copy of the death certificate.

• If you are not partner/spouse WCHG will assess your application to remain at the address, it may be that we can award you a tenancy but not award you the property depending on your circumstances. You will need to provide evidence that you have resided at this address for a period of 6 months or more & a copy of the death certificate.

• If you have not resided at the address for a period of 6 months or more you do not qualify under law to succeed to the tenancy/property. Please contact the Tenancy Management Team to discuss your options. It may be that you will have to terminate the tenancy and WCHG have no obligation to re-house you.
