Official guidance and scope
Reviewed 5 October 2026. A screening guide to common social renting arrangements across the UK, not a legal determination. Specialist housing, uncertain facts and changes in status need review. Does not determine eviction rights, notice validity, repair deadlines or eligibility for a particular complaint route. Joint tenancy is compatible with different legal tenancy types.
