South Holland revises Tenancy Management Policy Published: 15:00, 19 December 2020
Council tenants in South Holland are to receive guidance about passing on their contract to a family member in the event of death.
Updated rules regarding the management of about 4,000 tenancies across the area were discussed by by South Holland District Council cabinet members during a virtual meeting on Tuesday.
Concerns were raised about the rules relating to succession of tenancies, which only allow a joint tenant or, in the event of a sole tenancy, a husband or wife, partner or co-habiting partner to take over a tenancy if the existing tenant dies.
