Joint Tenancies. 6.1 A Secure or Flexible (fixed-term) Tenancy can be held by one person or by up to four Joint Tenants all of whom must be qualifying persons. However many Tenants there are, there is still only one Tenancy and the rights and duties relating to the Tenancy apply jointly and severally to all Joint Tenants.
6.2 When a Joint Tenant dies, the remaining Tenant/s will continue to hold the `tenancy by “survivorship”. The names of any Joint Tenants cannot be removed from the Tenancy and if one Joint Tenant terminates the tenancy then the Tenancy comes to an end. Further information is available in the Council’s leaflet on Joint Tenancies.
Joint Tenancies. If you are signing this agreement with someone else - such as your husband, wife, civil partner or partner or in some cases a family member - you will be a joint tenant. In joint tenancies, each tenant is jointly and individually responsible for all of the conditions of this agreement.
Joint Tenancies. Assignment, Succession, Sub-letting and Lodger
Joint Tenancies. If a group of you are renting a property together and you are all named on the contract, it is likely that you will have what is called a joint tenancy. A joint tenancy means that you are each liable for the whole rent of the premises and for any other obligations under the tenancy. For example: There is a group of four tenants on a joint tenancy for 9 months and one tenant decides to leave in the sixth month because they are fed up that no one else does any cleaning. Each joint tenant was paying an equal share of the rent. In this case, the landlord is entitled to collect the shortfall in rent from any or all of the remaining tenants or their guarantors. These remaining tenants may subsequently be able to recover this money from the missing tenant. In the above circumstances, the best solution is for the leaving tenant to find someone to replace them. More information is available in our self-help guide on leaving a tenancy early. Not all joint tenancies have an equal share of the rent; some rooms may cost more or less depending on the size. If you are unsure about what you are being charged for a room in a shared house compared to the others, please have the contract checked with the Student Advice Centre.
Joint Tenancies. If you are joint tenants, the term tenant refers to each of you individually and collectively. This means that you are each responsible for keeping to this agreement. In law, this is known as joint and several liability.
Joint Tenancies. 3.1 If more than one person is named as the "Tenant", the tenancy shall be deemed to be a joint tenancy. The Landlord is entitled to treat the persons named as the "Tenant" as a group, and the Landlord is not obliged to deal with each person individually (although the Landlord may do so).
3.2 Each of the persons named as the "Tenant" can be held liable for all of the obligations imposed on the Tenant by this Agreement.
Joint Tenancies. 3.6.1 Joint Tenancies have the unique characteristic of making all of the joint tenants fully responsible for the obligations of the tenancy. Joint Tenancies may be granted in relation to all tenancy types.
3.6.2 CCHA support adult applicants wishing to sign as joint tenants, should they choose to do so, as long as both are eligible and qualify under CCHA’s Allocations Policy.
3.6.3 CCHA will grant Joint Tenancies to a maximum of two tenants.
3.6.4 As the law stands, Joint Tenancies may be terminated by any individual resident without the consent of the other. In such circumstances, CCHA will advise the remaining resident of the termination and invite reasons from them to consider whether it is appropriate to grant a new tenancy to the remaining resident or require possession of the property through court proceedings, if necessary.
3.6.5 We are not obligated to grant a joint tenancy from a sole tenancy. We will only normally convert from sole to joint tenancies on the basis of a legal partnership (such as marriage or civil partnership), or when required to by a court order.
3.6.6 We will not grant a joint tenancy where the resident is in rent arrears (except for where there us a delay with housing benefit) and the resident has not maintained a payment plan for at least 12 weeks.
Joint Tenancies. If more than 1 person signs the tenancy agreement, this is called a joint tenancy. Joint tenants have equal rights. We will accept applications for joint tenancies from: • Married couples • Civil partners (same-sex partners) • Partners (including same-sex partners) • Close relatives, including: mother, father, sister, • Carers
Joint Tenancies. If two or more names appear on the tenancy agreement, you have a joint tenancy. Each person named (joint tenant) is individually responsible for making sure that the rent is paid and that the tenancy conditions are kept to. A joint tenant’s name cannot be taken off the tenancy agreement, and he or she cannot be forced to leave the property, without a Court Order. A joint tenant can end the whole tenancy by signing a termination of tenancy form (Ref TH 3a).
Joint Tenancies. If you are a joint tenant we can enforce the tenancy conditions against either or all the joint tenants together or as individuals. As a joint tenant you also have equal rights and obligations. This means each tenant is responsible for adhering to the terms and conditions and either tenant can be held responsible if this Tenancy Agreement is breached. If you are already a Council tenant and want to add someone to your tenancy, you will need to apply to the Council. The granting of a joint tenancy is always at the discretion of the Council. There are two types of tenancy entered into by the Council namely; introductory and secure. If we allocate you an introductory tenancy, the first 12 months of your tenancy period is a trial period. During this trial period the courts will allow us to end your tenancy as long as we have followed the correct legal procedures. We reserve the right to extend this trial period in certain circumstances. As an introductory tenant you will have fewer rights than a secure tenant, these are explained on pages 9-10 of this agreement. If we allocated you this tenancy while you were part way through an introductory tenancy with another housing provider, you must serve the rest of the 12 month trial period and any extended period before you become a secure tenant with us. When the trial period and any extended period ends, you automatically become a secure tenant unless we have issued court proceedings to end your tenancy. If we give you a secure tenancy or you become a secure tenant you will have
