You can apply on behalf of someone else under certain circumstances, such as when there is a need to transfer tenancy rights or in cases of succession after a tenant's death. Here’s a summary of the key points based on available council records:
| Scenario | Who Can Apply | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Succession | Married/unmarried partner, family | Only one succession to a tenancy is permitted. Family members eligible include parents, children, and siblings. |
| Assignment | Partner or family member | Must obtain council permission and complete a Deed of Assignment. |
| Circumstances for Refusal | Various reasons | Assignments may be refused for not being financially secure, rent arrears, or adaptations for disabilities. |
