If you have a joint tenancy, all joint tenants are responsible for making sure that they follow all the conditions of the tenancy agreement. This is particularly important in relation to paying rent, as each joint tenant can be held responsible for the whole amount of any rent that is due.

If, in future, you do not want the joint tenancy to continue, you should contact us for advice. If you can agree who should continue to be a tenant, it will normally be possible to sign the tenancy over to the other person or people.

If you have a tenancy by yourself and later want to change it to a joint tenancy with someone else, you should contact us. We will allow this in certain circumstances.

You should not just leave the property without contacting us, otherwise you will still be liable for paying the rent and following any other conditions of the tenancy.
