I agree and have already reported it. I thought the earlier comment (Maisie) was valid as it based on her experiences and not designed purely to be offensive.

Thank you so much . I totally agree with you everyone is entitled to there opinion and I so respect that. I havnt taken offence and I can see exactly what (Maise) was saying. My comment does come across like that. I wasn't thinking. It's sad that some people can be so cruel though. They don't even no my past or my values. I too have reported it.

I've also reported the offensive post.

Yes she can be added to the tenancy, its very simple, you just need to contact who ever manages your housing and they can get it all started.

Thank you. There are so many kind people here.

I can understand you wanting to add your daughter to the tenancy as it's natural for a parent to want to provide for their children in the event that something happen to the parent. As I understand it a tenancy can be passed on once to someone who's living there. It's also likely that your daughter will move away as she makes her own way in the world and this is also natural for parents and children to want.

Just a thought, OP as you have said it's a 2 bedroom bungalow has it been allocated for health/disability reasons? Jst wondering if that would have any implications.

Yes you are right Contessa. I also know she will obviously at some point move away. Although we are very close she,s an independent young lady. She works very hard in various part time jobs that fit in with her college. She wants to be a Barrister and is doing exceptionally well
This is all my fears and not hers. I,ve been going through a bit of a tough time lately, health problems and personnel.
I can try to see this a lot clearer now. Thank you for your reply.

yes your daughter can go on your tenancy but as a council arbitrator I do not see you benefiting from doing so ,
but appreciate everyone's personal circumstances are different

look into it and make sure you will not be losing any benefits you may be entitled to if not now but in the future, while your daughter is in uni you will be ok but once she starts work you may lose certain rebates and pension credit , talk to someone at CAB before you proceed

I,m sorry if I,ve offended anyone. I really was only thinking about my daughter welfare. We only have a tiny 2 bed roomed bungalow and I did own my own home till some years ago. Long story lost everything after a messy divorce.
I had my daughter late in life, her step brothers are in there 40,s do I,m petrified of leaving her alone. My health hasn't been so good of late. I think I,m getting paranoid.
I truly was not thinking of deceiving anyone there is nothing further from my mind. Though reading the replies I understand how people could think this. Please forgive me if I,ve touched nerves .
I really appreciate people's input and taking the time to answer.
Please believe me it was just a question.

I understand where you're coming from. I'm a similar age and when you have a period of illness you do get a bit 'paranoid' and start thinking 'what if?'


I am sure your youngest child would be absolutely fine but have a look at your tenancy agreement and see what it says about adding someone to the agreement and succession to the tenancy (. I think that's what it's called - basically what happens if you die - sorry!)


Some tenancies can be passed on - others can't - just depends on what kind of tenancy agreement you have.


PS. And try to stop worrying!

Hi Poppie 68
No I swapped with someone else sometime ago. It's not a bungalow for the elderly or disabled. Just very small but I love it. Though it has a massive garden.that nowadays I can barely keep up with. Lol
