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

by PeckhamLiveInLandlord

Two rooms are let in this manner. May I ask why you put "let" in inverted commas?
It is a flat, where I live in one room and the two other rooms were rented out. That's correct, the rooms are lockable from inside and outside (the tenants have the keys) and we share kitchen and bathroom...

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).

by Hudson01

What you appear to be describing is a whole house (which the LL owns) with individual rooms which have a lock on the internal door, but with you all sharing the kitchen and bathroom space ??? How many rooms are '' let '' in this manner ??

by PeckhamLiveInLandlord

Thank you jpkeates. Yes we've had situations recently in which tenants became rather intimidating, especially when a tenant starts using swear words and raises his voice (and in one case the tenant was a weight-lifting aficionado which didn't help) and then cites the law on their rights in an argumentative...

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...

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...

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.
