Hiya, housing lady here again

It isn't a Hyndburn Homes rules its a housing corp/govt rule as far as making it single to jt tenancy!! But its debateble about losing your right to buy as you will have had successive tenancies with no break!!

However, Your OH doesn't have to be on the tenancy agreement and if worse came to worse and he lost his job you would make the claim for housing benefit with him down as your partner...so it's not an issue him not being on the tenancy agreement

Also a point being if you do want to apply to buy OH only has to be living with you for 12 months (even though not on tenancy) to make a joint application to buy your current home

Hope that helps..
