Sole to Joint – How do I sign up a joint occupation contract?

If you are satisfied the criteria for a joint occupation contract is met:

  • Provide confirmation of the outcome in writing
  • Provide a copy of the RHW10JCH form, to be signed by both parties and the landlord. A New Contract will not need to be issued to the newly Joint party, but they should be issued with a copy of the originating contract that was initially issued to the sole contract holder. This cannot be edited and will need to be issued in its current form
  • Issue an RHW2
  • Issue the most recent gas and electrical safety certificates.

They should be reminded to report their change in circumstances to TCBC (for example Housing Benefit section) and any other relevant organisation (for example DWP UC claims).

If the criteria has not been met, it is advisable that a discussion is held with the contract holder around the reasoning, and a letter detailing the conversation must be sent before resolving the request.
