As your landlord, you must tell us if you want to sublet any part of your home. Section 12(2) of the 2014 Act makes the following changes:

• You must have been the tenant of the house throughout the 12 months immediately before you apply for written permission to sublet your home, or

• If you were not the tenant throughout the whole of that period, the house must have been your only or principal home during those 12 months.The tenant must have told us that you were living there prior to the start of those 12 months.
