    If girlfriend were not added as tenant on the tenant it would not make her an "illegal occupier", she'd not break any law.
    It would just make her a guest or lodger, exactly what she already is now.
    LOL...an illegal occupier I like that one. Can someone tell me what jail term or the fine I can expect for allowing my girlfriend to stay over would be?

    You don't need permission to allow a friend to stay over. Subletting might be against the terms and conditions of the tenancy but all the landlord can do is simply give 2 months notice to you.

    There would be no way at all that I would allow my girlfriend to be added to my tenancy. It's my house, my tenancy and if she were added then she has the right to terminate the tenancy with or without my agreement.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    You should phone Shelter for some advice on unfair charges within a tenancy, they will give you sound up to date advice, as far as I am aware your landlord cant charge you for renewing a tenancy.
    Wrong. L can seek a fee for renewal. It's not something governed by the 'old' Letting Agreement, after all.
