Your tenancy agreement

There are two important things to consider when entering into a joint tenancy:

5.1

All those forming the tenancy are jointly and solely responsible for the conduct of the tenancy. This means you can be held responsible for anything you do or don’t do and also what the other joint tenants do or don’t do, even when you were not involved.

5.2

Any one member of the joint tenancy can bring the tenancy to an end. There is no need for all the joint tenants to agree to end the tenancy. The remaining tenant(s) will not automatically be entitled to a sole tenancy or another joint tenancy. Requests for a new tenancy must be dealt with in accordance with the Council’s Allocations Policy.
