Reply to Does live-in landlord have the right arrange viewings of the tenant's room?

by jpkeates

Well it might make the occupant think that they have a completely different set of rights than they have.
Best to get a lodger agreement that outlines the rules about the landlord's access.

When it's a tenancy, there's a lot of legislation that supports the rights and obligations...

Does live-in landlord have the right arrange viewings of the tenant's room?

by PeckhamLiveInLandlord

I'd be interested to know if a live-in landlord has the right to arrange viewings of the tenant's room. I know that showing the flat is fine, but what about the actual room of the tenant? (Some rooms have locks on them and the tenants might have the keys).

Have you always 100% lived there all the time that occupant has been there?

Which country? ( NI, Wales...) Please

s21 or s8?

by Mr. Sparkle

Tenant (DSS) is on periodic tenancy

They are about £500 in arrears and increasing each month.

I would like to evict the tenant now.

Do I go down the s21 or s8 route?

by PeckhamLiveInLandlord

Thank you for your responses. The agreement doesn't say anything about viewings. The agreement talks about 'tenancy', rather than 'lodging', which might be a problem.
I'm only curious as the tenant has just moved out but shouted at me over the phone saying: "you couldn't have done any viewings...

by jpkeates

I think the terminology needs some thinking through.

If the occupant is really a tenant, they would have the right to exclude anyone, including the landlord.
But the occupants of a live in landlord aren't always tenants.

It's probably best to avoid section 8 until the tenant owes 2 month's rent, otherwise the grounds are going to be discretionary.

Why don't you ask the T's permission, that way it is easy and hassle free. If the T refuses, then wait until they have departed to show a new prospective T around.
