Succession Policy

The Succession policy sets out our policy as to who may succeed to a property upon the death of a tenant.

This policy ensures that we will meet our legal and regulatory responsibilities towards succession applications as set out in the tenancy agreement and Housing Allocation Scheme. 

When considering applications for a discretionary succession we will take full and fair consideration of the residents’ or person in occupation’s circumstances before making decisions having due regard to the Public Sector Equality duty.
