[1] Upon the death of a sitting tenant, tenancy can pass to another family member.
These tenancies were created in the United Kingdom before 15 January 1989 under the Rent Act of 1977.
The rent can be reviewed every two years or when improvements, such as gas central heating, double glazing or a new kitchen or bathroom, have been made to the property.
A landlord may not evict a sitting tenant who has a protected tenancy.
