Hi there,
1989 lease on a flat I'm contemplating bidding on at auction.
In one clause, the lease says the lessee is:
"Not to assign transfer sub-let or part with the possession of part only of the premises as distinguished from the entirety thereof" which makes me think I can let the flat to tenants as long as I rent the whole thing out.
But then in another clause (the fourth schedule) it says:
"Not to use the premises nor permit the same to be used for any trade business or profession nor shall any boarders or lodgers be taken in the Flat but the Lessee shall use the same for the purposes of a single self-contained private residential dwelling in the occupation of one family or household only"
which makes me think I can't rent it at all. Or is it just saying I can rent it out, but only to a single family (i.e. not to 2 unrelated lodgers)
If anyone has experience with these particular clauses I'd love to know.
Thanks!
