Can my partner move in after my tenancy has started?

Your partner may be able to move into your apartment after your tenancy starts, but please tell us before they move in permanently.

We need to check the apartment’s occupancy arrangements & whether your partner will become a joint tenant or a permitted occupier.

How to request the change

• Send us your development & apartment reference.
• Explain the proposed move-in date.
• Confirm whether you want to add your partner to the tenancy agreement.
• Provide the identification & other details needed for relevant checks.
• Wait for written confirmation of the agreed arrangements.

For apartments in England, the appropriate right-to-rent check applies to adult occupants. For Dublin, Irish requirements concerning tenancy arrangements & occupant details apply.

Adding a joint tenant may mean reviewing affordability, which is normally based on combined annual household income of at least 2.5 times the annual rent.

Having a guest to stay occasionally is different from a permanent change to the household. Tell us about the intended arrangement so we can advise on the right process.
