'A Practical Guide to Succession to Social Housing Tenancies' by Stephanie Lovegrove examines the law surrounding succession on death to tenancies granted by social housing providers. The area is complex, with the statutory schemes under the Housing Acts 1985 and 1988 and Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 operating alongside established principles under Intestacy, Landlord and Tenant and Contract law.
This book provides a comprehensive practical guide to navigating issues of and relating to succession faced by social housing providers, their tenants, and those advising them, from ensuring tenancy agreements and policies properly reflect a provider's desired succession entitlement to defending possession proceedings where it is said no entitlement to succeed exists.
