Succession to a Tenancy

Succession is where a tenant dies and the tenancy passes to another member of the tenant’s family or a carer who lived with them. This provides security for your family.
 
If you die the tenancy may, under certain circumstances, be inherited by members of your household in the following order:
 
1. Your husband, wife, civil partner or joint tenant.
2. A member of your family.
3. A person who has given up their own home to care for you (or a member of your household).
 
The Scottish Secure Tenancy can be passed on by succession twice.
 
It is important to keep us up to date with details of the members of your household.
