Has anyone used one of these leases? I own a property which contains a shop and I want to issue this straightforward short lease to my tenant but I need some advice.

I have come across a bit of an anomaly. My father-in-law has rented a property that he jointly owns with his daughters out to a weekly tenant. His daughters are over the age of 18 and had no involvement in this. Is the lease binding?...
