I have been a tenant for 8.5 years. Private rent £1600, no benefits, never missed a payment. Each year in May I signed a new tenancy for 12 months. This year in...

That's the legal position and you should write him a Letter Before Action to this effect and tell him...

Reply to Cant prove tenants partner has moved in

by DPT57

Benefits aside, what she is doing sounds perfectly sensible by not saddling herself with a co-tenant who is financially entangled and who she can't get easily get rid of if they decide to part. Many couples retain two properties even after being together for a long period, to keep their independence....
