    Thanks, might have to investigate how a tenancy stops becoming an AST, if we ever decide to sign anything... :)

    Are you a friend of our LL's or something because you seem a tad defensive... :p

    Landlords on here often bait tenants. Landlords might even penalise a tenant for a botched amateur washer repair. Changing lightbulbs - yes. But landlords here give their advice from their own perspective.

    And will get shot down in flames if that advice is incorrect/illegal, unlike yourself whom sometimes gives advice that is incorrect :)

    I would not waste your time researching this area of law.

    jjLandlord is strictly speaking right - the clause could be relevant in certain cases.

    But it is not relevant to you, and is unlikely ever to be.

    Ignore it.

    jj - I know you are well versed in property law, and feel it important to share that law in full with posters, but sometimes keeping to practical advice relevant to the OP's position is more useful.

    However we may agree to differ on this approach.

    Indeed, as mentioned the clause is unlikely to ever apply to OP (which does not mean it's irrelevant since it's part of the agreement he's asked to sign), but that's quite different than being unenforceable and meaningless, isn't it?
    So without going into the details it's useful and important to avoid suggesting that it is to OP, and to anyone else reading the thread as that'd be plain incorrect and at the very least misleading.

    You're very welcome ;) (nivc way you have here, to fall back on your feet...)

    Granted I could amend my advice to "unenforcible on the OP", as opposed to just "unenforcible".

    Pragmatism Vs legalese.

    Come on, you don't know if it'll ever be enforceable on OP, or not. That's the point of the clause being there!

    I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, I was just corrected one thing for the sake of OP and all readers. I see no reason to react in such way.
