Tenancy law in case of terminal illness: stay in your home


Questioner

I would like to present you with the following case. In my area there is a mother who is terminally ill and lives with her 18-year-old son. Mother would like her son to continue living in the parental home after her death, as that is where he has his school and friends. Do you know what options there are for him to continue living in the house? The family rents the house from a housing association, but from my experience they are usually not cooperative.

Lawyer

The (adult) son must somehow obtain co-tenancy. If the landlord does not want to cooperate, the judge can grant a request to that effect under certain circumstances. I think that the requirements (including financial requirements) against which the judge will then have to test could stand in the way of granting the request.
