Arrears/court order on deceased tenant’s tenancy
Where the succession is claimed by way or survivorship, the remaining sole tenant becomes liable for the deceased tenant’s rent arrears.
Any rent arrears on a tenancy that has been succeeded to by way of statutory succession (not including survivorship) become a debt owed by/to the deceased tenant’s estate and will not be passed on to the successor. If the deceased tenant had a court order against them, the successor takes on the terms and conditions of the court order.
