Tell us that a council home tenant has died

Coping with a death is never easy, and trying to deal with someone's estate can be complicated and upsetting. 

You'll need to tell us as soon as possible if you're:

• living with a tenant who's died
• dealing with a tenant's property, belongings and money, known as their estate

You can ask us to:

• end the tenancy 
• transfer the tenancy
• check if the people currently living at the property can stay

Contact us if you think you may have succession rights after a council tenant dies.
