Hi I need some advice. My father sadly passed away and I was living in his council property with him due to my relationship breaking down. I moved in with my father because the local council would not rehouse me and my son because I surrendered a previous council tenancy to live with my partner. So now my father has passed away I am trying to succeed the tenancy. The application is processing but I just want some advice as to weather my application is going to be successful or I'm going to be homeless within weeks. So the issues I need answering are that my mum and dad had a joint tenancy but my mum gave it up to my dad when they divorced does this count as 1 succession? Also even tho I have been living with my dad for the past 2 years and can prove I was he didn't declare me living there and was in receipt of housing benefit will the council refuse me on these grounds any advice appreciated
