Resolve a contested home rental agreement by applying for a Transfer of Tenancy

In cases where a separated couple is renting a property, both parties may be named on the tenancy agreement. This can lead to a situation where the tenancy is contested once the household splits up.

Our legal team can help you apply to the court to transfer a tenancy agreement into the name of a single individual and find a satisfactory outcome for your future.

We will assist you in preparing your case, inspecting evidence and supporting documentation, and defending your right to receive a judgement that protects your future and peace of mind.

Can the tenancy be transferred to my children?  

If you and the other party have children together that are under the age of 18, it may be possible to apply to transfer a tenancy into your name for the benefit of the children.

Can I transfer a tenancy that was in my ex-partners name or in joint names into my sole name? 

An application for a transfer of tenancy can be applied for if you were living in the home, either as a married couple, civil partners or as an unmarried couple.  

If you were married or in a civil partnership you will need to have begun divorce, dissolution, nullity or judicial separation proceedings before you can apply for a transfer of tenancy. 

When making a decision, what will the Court consider?

The Court will need to consider the following:

• The circumstances in which the tenancy was granted
• The respective housing needs and housing resources of the parties and any relevant child. Housing resources include whether either party would qualify for rehousing under homelessness or allocations legislation.
• The respective financial resources of the parties
• The likely effect on the health, safety and well being of the two parties and of any child
• The respective suitability of the parties as tenants
