Under Section 111 of RHWA, a joint contract-holder under a secure contract may withdraw from the contract by giving a “withdrawal notice” to Bron Afon. This notice period will be one month.
We will also accept the receipt of a court order requesting that one joint contract holder is removed. This must specify the date on which the joint contract holder intends to cease to be a party to the contract. In most circumstances, a contract holder is now eligible to remain in the property as a sole contract holder, providing they are not under-occupying the property.
A withdrawal notice received from a joint contract holder, no longer ends the entire contract for both parties. The remaining sole contract holder becomes solely liable for all aspects of the contract. However, an investigation form will need to be completed to identify any under-occupation concerns as per RHW Estate Management Grounds.
The joint contract-holder must give a written warning to the other joint contract holders when he or she gives the withdrawal notice to Bron Afon; and a copy of the withdrawal notice must be attached to the warning.
Bron Afon must give a written warning to the other joint contract holders as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the withdrawal notice, and a copy of the withdrawal notice must be attached to the warning. The joint contract holder ceases to be a party to the contract on the specified withdrawal date.
