If you are living in a house but you are not the tenant you still may have the right to stay in there if the legal tenant dies. If you are a 'qualifying person' under the terms of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 you may be able to succeed to the tenancy.
An outline of who would be classed as a ‘qualifying person‘, the criteria for succeeding to a tenancy and more information on how to apply is given in Wishaw and District Housing Association‘s Succession Policy and Succession Leaflet
