I have two tenants, him and her, in a flat, together with small child. Joint tenancy - both names on the TA.
Due to a job loss just prior to Christmas, they became badly behind with the rent.
They are now in the hands of WINZ.
He now requests that the tenancy be changed to just his name on the TA, as apparently this will expedite the dealings with WINZ.
The fishhook with this is that I have already issued a 90 day notice to them as joint tenants, giving them termination on 4th April. If they have their financial problems under control before then, I plan to let them stay on past that date otherwise I can get them out without hassle.
However - if I amend the TA to just his name, will that 90 day notice still be valid?
