SECURE TENANCY

November 28th, 2024 by James Goudie KC

In HOWE v BRENT LBC (2024) EWCA Civ 1444 the Court of Appeal rules that where a family member of a secure tenant met the requirements of Section 123(1) of Housing Act 1985 at the time when the secure tenant served a notice under Section 122(1) validly requiring that the family member share their RIGHT TO BUY, the family member was due to be a JOINT SECURE TENANT, even if the family member’s qualifying status was not established until after the secure tenant’s death.
