I wonder if someone could help me. I am a tennant and have lived in the flat for 2.5 years and have always been responsible for finding new housemates once the previous one has moved out.
My landlady considers me to be the main/only tennant and that i am 'sub-letting' the rooms to other housemates. She is happy with this arrangement as she trusts me and it's easier for her than looking for new housemates. Despite this, other housemates pay rent directly to the landlady and not through me.
I have asked one of the housemates to leave for personal reasons. They are refusing. Do I have any rights to 'evict' them seeing as the landlady views me as the main tennant and them as a sub-tennant? The landlady does not want to get involved in what they see as a dispute between myself and the housemate
I have a contract. The new housemate does not, but is pushing for one to protect themself.
What is the legal situation please? Thanks.
