Ending a tenancy if the tenant dies

We recognise that this will be a difficult time for your family and we will work closely with them to help them. 

Your next of kin or the executor of your Will must give 4 weeks’ written notice to end your tenancy. There is a form for them to fill in at the back of your tenancy agreement. 

Although we ask for 4 weeks’ notice, we will end your tenancy sooner as long as your home is cleared of all contents and left clean and tidy. In this case your tenancy will end on the Sunday after we get your keys back. 

If you get housing benefit, this will stop and the full rent will be payable until we receive your keys as requested and can end the tenancy. 

If any rent is due or other charges are payable, we will inform the executor of your Will and ask them to pay any rent you owe us out of any money you have left behind.
