Can I change the names on my tenancy agreement?
Yes, you can request a change to the people named on your agreement. We need to review it before anyone is added, removed or replaced.
Changing the names on a tenancy is different from updating a contact detail. It can affect who has a right to occupy the apartment & who is responsible for the rent.
How to request a change
- Tell us the development, apartment & current tenants.
- Explain who wants to leave or join & the preferred date.
- Provide identification & referencing information for any proposed new tenant.
- Wait for the correct written amendment, assignment or new tenancy documents.
- Do not assume someone has been released from the agreement until it is confirmed.
Our affordability requirement is combined annual household income of at least 2.5 times the annual rent. We may reassess it when the household changes.
In England, a tenant-requested variation can carry a lawful administration charge of up to £50, or higher reasonable evidenced costs. Irish rules differ. We will explain any permitted cost in advance.
