Transfers 

An introductory tenant remains an introductory tenant at the new address for the remainder of the trial period (eg if they have been an introductory tenant for 6 months at the first tenancy they will be an introductory tenant for 6 months at the second).

Successions

A successor succeeds to the tenant’s tenancy so the introductory tenancy continues until the end of the trial period (eg if an introductory tenant dies 6 months after their tenancy began a successor will be an introductory tenant for the remaining 6 months of the trial period). Otherwise succession operates in the same way as a secure tenancy (see successions).

Assignments

An introductory tenancy can only be assigned in two cases. Either by court order under matrimonial and domestic law (including a property adjustment order made in connection with civil partnership proceedings), or to a qualifying successor. This is similar to the rules for secure tenants except that introductory tenants do not have the right to assign by way of mutual exchange
