Changing your tenancy

We know that moving home can be a stressful and busy time and we want to do all we can to make the process straight forward.

Find out all you need to know about ending your tenancy and if you have any further questions please get in touch.

If you have a sole tenancy and you want to change this to a joint tenancy, we’ll consider applications from spouses and civil partners or those who live together in a settled relationship as if they were spouses or civil partners.

If you’re on a fixed term or starter tenancy, we’ll only be able to consider applications at the end of your tenancy term.

If you have a joint tenancy with us and want to change this to a sole tenancy, then both tenants must agree to this change.

If you can’t agree who should have the tenancy, we recommend you seek independent legal advice.

We know that dealing with the death of a loved one can be difficult.

Read more about the process involved when informing us about the death of a Southern Housing resident named on the tenancy agreement.

Are you thinking of running a business from your home or even just working from home? If so, we’ve put together some useful guidance which should help answer any questions you may have.

Are you going to be away from your home for a period of time?

If so, read our frequently asked questions for everything you need to know and do before you go.

If you are a Southern Housing resident keen to open your home up to support people looking to leave the Ukraine due to the conflict with Russia, then you need to start by submitting a request to us.

If we approve the request you can then submit an official application for the 'Homes for Ukraine' scheme through the gov.uk website.
