'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.
