Assign Tenancy

Assigning your tenancy is where you pass on your tenancy, including all of your rights and responsibilities, to another person (known as an assignee).

If you want to pass on your tenancy, please fill in this form. The person who you want to take over your tenancy must have lived with you for at least 12 months prior to your application. You must have previously notified us that the person is living in the property as their only or principal home. You must have lived at the property, as the tenant, during the 12 months immediately before making the request.
