Could not telling the council about my partner affect my tenancy?

[RealPombear]

Long post
So I was given a property in November after 9 years on the list due to my mental health caring for my terminally ill parents whilst caring for my intillectualy disabled daughter and working full time - me and my partner kids dad split and I moved - we have since reconciled I pay full rent claim no benefits and put him on the council tax as some one who stays here as I’m caring for my parents so I don’t get the discount - I have not let the council know to be fair it never even crossed my mind until a friend mentioned it that they will cross reference all data bases when transferring me to a secure tennancy will I be evicted really worried! I am a model tenant and have transformed the what I can only describe (drug den) since I moved in - Any advice please

Was your partner part of the reason you were allocated the accommodation in the first place - any dv etc?
I’d check with the council whether joint income makes any difference, and if it does, seriously consider whether taking him back is worth the risk.
Regardless, do not add him to the tenancy.

No I was allocated the home as my parents were diagnosed with terminal cancer within a year of each other and it was a 60 minuet round trip each day with my disabled child caring for them after work I was awarded power of attorney and it really messed with my mental health my days were 13hours plus and I refused to give up work as it’s my routine and I needed that.

i have no intention of him going on the tennancy we were together 17 years before we split and he was on my orininal housing application before we parted ways - and no to financial nothing stated

Looks like you are a newish council tenant. Have they put you on an introductory tenancy with a proposal that it transfers to a secure tenancy in November, so long as there are no issues?

If you are an introductory tenant you should have gotten permission from the council before he moved in. But this is an honest mistake wand you can also explain the stress you are under. A council is unlikely to evict you or refuse you a secure tenancy for na honest mistake if you fix it quickly. That would be really disproportionate.

Excuse the typos! Just to add it might well affect your tenancy in that they may increase your rent if your partner is living there.

Most council's will not allow a joint tenant to be added during an introductory tenancy. He will also not become a joint tenant when it converts to a secure tenancy, unless you ask for that. Sounds like that is not what you want anyway.

However, do check the position on succession rights once you have a secure tenancy. A cohabiting partner who is not a joint tenant will have an automatic succession right to inherit the property if it is their only principle home, there has been no previous succession and there is proof of your relationship. Children no longer have an automatic succession right, but council's have discretion to allow for a child to succeed a secure tenancy and some do for specific circumstances, such as for disabled children. However, if that is a possibility provided for by your council that right would be trumped by your partner's automatic success right. Not sure if that is something that would be of concern to you but mentioning it in case it is.
