I stand, or rather sit, corrected Mr SPM.
Personally, I think that's disgraceful as it basically means that the tenant's current boyfriend/girlfriend can jointly own a council property and reap the reward of the huge discount.0 -

What constitutes living together as if they were husband or wife or civil partners?0 -
RTB is a joke. It would be more economical for the council to just gift the couple the discount in cash!0
