Live-In Landlord unhappy with guest staying

katejo

When I have a lodger I make the following clear to them at the beginning:

1. It is ok to have a partner or friend staying over very occasionally. The room has a guest bed which can be pulled out. However not more than once a month.

2. I don't want to feel that I am playing gooseberry in my own house and my gas/electricity bills would go up if an extra person were regularly using the shower/cooking facilities

However I would also inform my lodger in advance if a friend were going to be staying over and using the sofa bed in the living room. It isn't reasonable to expect you to keep to your room/not use the living area due to this.

Your landlord could have you out on the street in an instant.

If you don't like how he runs his home, then you have the option to leave.

Your wrong, very very wrong. The op have a 6 month contract.

Well. i should rephrase that given your responses.

My Landlord is the person I live withs Brother. Who lives abroad. The person I live with is operating the house as if he was the landlord, on behalf of his brother.
The agreement is with the absent Brother. my rent is paid to the person living in the house.

there is nothing mentioned in the stock TA signed by the person i live with.
no mention of guest restrictions. no mention of altering bills.

That changes everything. You can do whatever you like in your room, and have rights most likely to the rest of the house. What does your tenancy actually say regarding accomodation.

Are you renting the property known as 1 A Street etc

He doesn't have to allow any one but you to stay. If I was a landlord with a lodger and he had moved his girlfriend in for x3 days, I would be mightily annoyed.

You don't have the rights that you think you have.

You don't know what rights he has. You've not seen his contract.

Anyway doesn't apply now, as he's a tenant.

But for future reference, don't presume.

Yes. I've a generic Assured Short Term TA signed by the person i live with, referring to the Absent Brother as the Landlord and a Term of 6 months.

Are there three brothers as I'm confused.

Your landlord, the person you have the agreement with, is not living with you. His brother lives with you and acts like a landlord (though if your agreement is not with him he is not?)

This 'landlord' then has another brother staying on the couch?

Or are the couch brother and the 'acting as landlord' brother the same person?

Ok, if you want complete answer please tell me what it says, the landlord agrees to rent the property known as:

What does it say??

Yes, 3 brothers. The Landlord, the Person I live with as part of the agreement and a third Brother who arrived last week and will be couch surfing for an 'undefined' period of time.

Clearly, i dont want to reveal the address. but there is defined under "PREMISES" the house street address and Room number i am in.

under "LANDLORD" is the absent Brother.

TENANT is me.

TERM is 6 months.
