Tenants. Moving back in won't change that.

Reply to Am I a lodger or a tenant?

by AndrewDod

I would take a 6M tenancy myself, immediately grant a 4 year tenancy at quarter my original rent to D, let...

Reply to Tenancy issues - No Deposit Scheme, demanding deposit back

by alice123

Reply to Am I a lodger or a tenant?

by KTC

The term lawful here applies to private landlord. It's a term that does not just exist within the Housing Act 1988, but also Rent Act 1977, and probably other places. In this context, it basically means as the Shelter page summarised, did the mesne tenant have permission to sublet. That section of the...

Reply to Accelerated possession order

by L4NDLORD

this is not a great time to try to get possession, I would recommend that you tolerate them a bit longer. The Judge is not going to be sympathetic and besides these cases are going to take a long time to come to Court.
