Lodger Contract

Has anyone got a sample of a 'lodger' contract you could let me have a copy of?.
My granddaughter is going to let a room in her house to a friend,and I feel she should have some sort of formal agreement to avoid misunderstandings.

I hope she has some great lodgers. It may be worth her knowing that if she does have any problems with lodgers, the police are prepared to intervene. This doesn't work with tenants where the landlord does not live in the same property, and is of course a last resort.0

Is the link you put up to another forum which you need to register with to access the document, an actual sample lodger agreement, or just an application form for a prospective lodger to complete?Yep, i've put it just today on the Bigbadger thread....
It's just that the site you refer to does offer a lodgers agreement via a third party site (for which they probably get paid a referral fee)
This is the third party site where the actual lodger agreement costs £30/£15

I really need some legal help with my lodger... basically
On 14th June 2009 i had a lodger move into my spare room and got them to sign the license agreement for a lodger. We both agreed to a 6 month contract with 2 months notice for early termination. At the time i took £300.00 deposit and £280.00 rent (1 month).
On 14th October, my lodger gave me 2 months notice, saying she was moving out on 14th Dec, since then she has decided to move out earlier. So i need to know where i stand in terms of the deposit i still have and the rent that is due to me on 14th November?
I have suggested to her that she can go early, but i will keep the deposit instead of her paying the rent due on 14th November OR that she keeps the room until 14th Dec paying the rent due next week, then she gets her deposit back on leaving.
Help, thanks0 -
Best of luck but I fear your lodger is unlikely to cough up.
You could of course then take Small Claims court action, but probably not worth it...
Cheers!
