could'nt this be used as way to get a tax break.

To be fair dont think it should be absolute that tenancy cant be passed on. I think if the relatives lived in the home with the tenant holder last 5 to 6 years. If it was passed down it will be under ocupied then council should be forced to find suitable alternative accomodation. Should not under trying times for family to make those homeless. I would argue too there should be short reprieve.
