Transferring contract to tennants

Susie+Ath — Fri, 21 May 2021 14:00:49 GMT

I rent out my house and my tennants have so far paid rent to include the Sky package; as they want to sign up for another 6 months we have discussed transferring my Sky to them, or it is easier for me to just cancel it and for them to start a new contract?

@Susie+Ath You would have to cancel sky don't allow account ownership changes

remember if you have any Sky q equipment it will need returning as it's linked to your account and they will receive new equipment

@Susie+Ath something else to consider is that Sky's minimum contract length for new customers is 18 months, which could leave them and you in a difficult position if they decide to vacate after their 6 months tenancy.

Thanks @Mark39 they have said they are happy to take on a contract and move it with them if they do leave, they have done this before and like to stick with Sky so we will be ok; they also mentioned they have can do this on a minimum 12 month contract, so could just depend on the various packages etc.

@Susie+Ath @Mark39 Makes valid point, so it may not be worth the hassle

so your best option would be to keep including it in the rent
