I am sorry,but the tenancy will go on as in two names until you move out.
A friend was in just this situation last year,and this is what the council told him;that they were unable(under the law) to "vary" the tenancy.

How long has that been law then? I had my ex taken off the tenancy but it was 17 years ago now. What happens if a joint tenant dies? Joint tenants are jointly responsible for the rent. So, in effect, if you didn't pay, they could go after her!

I know for a fact this can be done .I got my ex to write a letter to the council giving up his rights to the property.As soon as the council received this I had a letter back stating my name was on property only . Hope this helps.
