When a person is moved from one address to another in Mosaic, the previous address recorded against the person will be end dated. If a new address is added the previous address will not be end dated. A new address should only be added in certain circumstances, for example, if a child has two addresses where the parents share custody, or an adult has a 'bills' address where a relative deals with their finances.
