Can I remove one name from a joint tenancy?
Yes, providing the below criteria is met. To get started, you will need to complete our joint to sole tenancy application. You can download a copy here.
We would usually accept applications where:
- Both joint tenants are in agreement
- Your rent account has been kept up to date for at least 12 weeks and the property is suitable for the remaining household occupants.
If both tenants are not in agreement, you may be able to apply for a Court Order. For further guidance, please seek independent advice from Citizens Advice or legal advice
