Notice to Vacate
I've dim memories from Scribbly school and the office simulator phase that go something like this....
Whilst units can be very understanding in situations of almost unbelievable distress, they have to serve a Notice to Vacate after a standard period (looks about right here).
However, the spouse/widow becomes an "irregular occupant" and moves to a rent closer to social housing costs. Thereafter, it was determined by the situation, passage of time, waiting list situation and payment record how it proceeds
Any ex-Scribblies with a better memory?
If SSAFA is involved then I'm sure the family is being supported...
