    What's all this Licensor and Licensee bolux? Is it a public house?

    Please, Landlord/Owner and Lodger will suffice, but even then good luck.

    Are you actually expecting payment in return for this or does the lucky individual get to wear a gimp suit and live in a box at the end of your bed?
  • I hope your potential lodger does the right thing.. that is that he tells you where to stick your lodging arrangement, goes and gets his own flat and if he can't afford to rent his own flat, he should claim Housing Benefit with my BLESSING as a tax-payer. No one should be subjected to your truly insane lodging agreement. roflmao

    I personally cannot see what is wrong with this. Basically those are the rules and they have to abide by them. Simple eh?
  • its not so much the content of them, its the way they have been phrased. if i was given that contract to sign i would not sign it on the basis that it could be classed as unfair and any good solicitor would rip it to pieces if for whatever reason either of you took the other to court.

    You are a very very sad individual.

    The problem is your rules are unfair, unrealistic and try to restrict your flatmates day to day life for no apparent reason.

    You either rent him the room and allow him to use the facilites or you dont.

    Not allowing him to use the heating etc is ridicolous.

    You do realise he is a lodger and not your boyfriend, the more I read the more I suspect you will be buying him lots of fudge to pack in his cupboard.

    Also why would they need a separate TV license? Do you not have a TV? You only need one per house.

    No you don't. Each tenant requires their own television license if they want to use a television outside a common living area.
  • I was a lodger once, briefly. My landlady was a c*nt. She once actually chided me via email for 'not behaving in a tenant-like manner'. I asked her to explain what she meant and she replied, 'I am your LANDLORD and you keep answering me back and not doing what I tell you to do.'
