Reply to Am I a lodger or a tenant?

by Perce

I don’t understand why to create all these problems for Sara and yourself when it is obvious that you need to move.

I am sure that tenants/lodgers who are unable to find the easiest solution to the problem but just create more will fail in all areas of their life....

Am I a lodger or a tenant?

by Bert1e

Hello, I have a question about my legal status in private rented accommodation.

I live in a private rented house. The entire house is rented from the landlord by one individual (let's call her Sara). Sara has a bedroom in the house and a lot of stuff in the cupboards all around the house....

It obviously looks dodgy to lots of people. A court might believe that this is a sham agreement.

Getting it wrong can have serious consequences, particularly if you really do plan to creep up behind him and just lock him out.

Reply to Alternative ways to enforce a Peaceable Eviction

by bob369

Various cases have ruled not.
Can you point these to me please.

Why does the property being a 'self contained flat' make the lodger not a licencee, why is a...

Alternative ways to enforce a Peaceable Eviction

by bob369

Hi,

A Lodger (Excluded Occupier) needs to be excluded as his Notice Period has expired (one calendar month), and he refuses to leave

I understand Police will not get involved to remove him, even though he is tresspassing, understand they view this as Civil not criminal....

Reply to Am I a lodger or a tenant?

by KTC

I think OP was a tenant from the start anyway. If OP truly had only a licence to occupy, whether there's really a occupying landlord shouldn't change that. More relevant is the question whether OP has an assured shorthold teanncy.

Without actually looking up any authorities, personally...

by theartfullodger

That you consider that the paperwork means they are licensees does not mean they are. Various cases have ruled not.

For what reason do you think they have a license, please? I appreciate you may be correct, but could you help and clarify kindly, please?

Deposit Schemes

by CharlesT

Apologies if this has been covered before. Have landlords on here had any negative experiences with the so called 0 deposit schemes whereby prospective tenants pay only one week's rent as a premium to a third party provider, the latter being responsible for compensating the landlord in the event of...
