Comment on: Rioters given ‘final warning’ possession notices
"I have seen notices served as a shot across the bows, but only in very rare circumstances."
Mr Hulley, you need to get out more. -

Posted in: under occupy
If you mean are you breaching your tenancy by underoccupying, then the answer is no.

Posted in: Succeeding council tenancy and being re evaluated due to under occupancy
If your landlord tries to recover possession, the Court will consider if it's reasonable to make a possession order. They will consider the "under occupation" at the date of the hearing, not the date of death. The Court also has to consider how long you've lived at the property and whether the alternative accommodation (the Council must offer you this) is a reasonable offer. The onus is on them to prove their case, not you to prove yours.

Nikki,
What accommodation will you have in Devon? If you're not accessing social housing there, then there's no advantage to you in terminating your current joint tenancy.
Ask to see your LA's allocation policy as well. Why can't your son apply to the LA in his own right (if he got a move he would terminate your joint tenancy, leaving you to move to Devon).
I'm afraid it's all about timing and quite few variables, but do not give notice until you have clear information, in writing.

Why do you need to give notice?
