Re: Stupid HYndburn Homes
 

Just looked at my tenancy handbook - mentions nothing about assignments [surprise surprise], it gives details about joint tenancy & what happens in breakdown of relationship with regard to tenancy - BUT nowt on moving in a partner.

Strange thing about right to buy will copy as below

If your secure tenancy transferred from the council to hyndburn homes u will continue your right to buy. This is known as a preserved right to buy.

This remains with u or any qualifying member of your family who suceeds to your tenancy, even if u later transfer to another home owned by HH, as long as its not exempt from right to buy. Also, if u have the preserved right to buy & later move to a council home in another area, u would still have the right to buy & any discounts would include your time as a tenant of HH.

Some tenancies are currently excluded from the right to buy such as flats in sheltered schemes & bungalows.

New tenants of HH do not have preserved right to buy but do have the right to acquire Hyndburn Homes excerp from handbook

Now reading that im sure HH are diddling me out of my right to buy because they want me to cancel my current tenancy agreement to apply as joint tennant - so therefore i would come under a new tenant [despite being with them a good few years with council] so that they can diddle me out of the right to buy:(

Re: Stupid HYndburn Homes
 

Oh & they say in handbook that 2 people living as a couple SHOULD be joint tenants

Funny that when they gave me 2 options & not exactly encouraging getting the joint tenancy by making it harder & losing my preserved right to buy:mad:

I was going to suggest getting a kennel outside for you, and only letting you sleep at the bottom of her bed on the coldest of nights, but a shed would afford you more leg room.:D

I always wanted to be somebody's bit of woof :D

Re: Stupid HYndburn Homes
 

Oh aye mr rindy 69er karma points giving you ideas:rofl38:

Re: Stupid HYndburn Homes
 

that was my point mel, i don't think they can take away your preserved right to buy unless you agree to sign the new tenancy agreeing to lose that preserved right. After 12 months of living with you Dave can be included on your application for right to buy..so not much point faffing with Joint tenancy if that is your future aim.

Re: Stupid HYndburn Homes
 

The sneaky barstewards, i dont see the point they'd gain by making me do a joint tenancy as a new tenant, little legal loophole they are exploiting. Well i shall do my letter to them just to inform in writing that he's here & unless i can keep my preserved right to buy & other rights in place allowed from then ie being assured tenant not a starter tenant when been here longer than HH have, then i shan't be doing the joint - tough doggy do do for changing the rules to suit them not the tenant in place thats earned it LOL.

Re: Stupid HYndburn Homes
 

I would also point out that as a local authority housing they couldn't do assignments under the housing act 1985 but as an RSL they can under housing act 1988 and also that if they agree, part of the assignment is sharing with Dave your preserved right to buy also...although he would only ever be able to do that jointly with you unless you then went on in future to assign the whole tenancy to him :eek:

Re: Stupid HYndburn Homes
 

That sounds like a good option for you, when he gets fed up with your moaning you still have all your rights and he has none :D

Re: Stupid HYndburn Homes
 

If you married him, would his future tenancy rights be improved? or would it not make any difference?

Re: Stupid HYndburn Homes
 

I don't think you can marry somebody if they are declared insane, that would be the only possibility of it happening :D

Re: Stupid HYndburn Homes
 

Even then my one & only minute sane brain cell working would still prevent it from happening:Banane20:hehehehe:D

Re: Stupid HYndburn Homes
 

LOL - I wasn't recommending it - just asking if it would make a difference.
(far be it from me to make such recommendations , having failed at matrimony several times I am in no position to advocate it, but I know some people thrive on it :D -I've just given up trying)

Re: Stupid HYndburn Homes
 

Your'e right, it is a good question. I believe you can pass tenancy to immediate family who occupy the same property so presumably the spouse would come under that category if I'm right.

Re: Stupid HYndburn Homes
 

Yes it does:D
