Change of Name
When there is a need to change the name of the tenancy holder, the council can help guide you through this process and put the change in place. You will need to provide the original legal documents to prove your change of name before we can alter the tenancy (for example: deed poll, court papers, adoption papers, marriage certificate).
If the tenancy is to be assigned to another person or succession in the event of the death of the tenancy holder, we do not require these documents.
The service is available to all tenants of Darlington Borough Council and is provided on an individual basis, according to need.
