Tenants want boyfriend to move in - ok?
Comments

Therefore pay at least 20% more rent ( there are now 3 people)to someone else with the additional costs involved in moving and signing a new contract with an unknown LL.:rotfl:
I assume the boyfriend is moving in to save money on rent (amongst other reasons)
There are a few ifs, buts and maybe's but the LLady is happy to do what she is doing, so thats the end of that.I am a LandLord,(under review) so there!:p0 -
And what happens if the two girls move out and he decides he's not going?0

Ofcourse he can have a key. A key doesn't give him rights...
No, because non-tenants do not have a legal obligation to own keys, even if they live there. It is only at the landlord's discretion. Do you give keys to squatters just because they live there? No!
He has no legal right to live there if he doesn't sign the tenancy. It is entirely on the landlord on whether he can live there or not, but if he signs said lease then he has more legal rights.And the OP get a dodgy tenant and gets nothing for months or a destroyed flat...
Except he's not a tenant, he's a squatter. Make your mind up!0 -
Please explain?
Op says I want extra £80 a month, they say no and move out.
OP now needs new tenant. Let's say rent is 800 a month. He loses 400 in the 2 week void, another 200 in tenant finding fees, that's 8 months worth of the increased rent.
A bad tenant moves in, late with rent, misses payments. OP goes to court to evict, more fees. Tenant damages the property. More costs.
Op sues the tenant, they have no money and pay back £10 a month... For a few months...
Great...
I'm not saying this happens all the time, it's a risk. He has two good tenants, why risk it.0 -
LL has already stated that the rent will not be increasing.Op says I want extra £80 a month, they say no and move out.

which voids the rest of your (very weak and unrealistic)argument.I am a LandLord,(under review) so there!:p0 -

1: The tenant can give a key to whoever they choose. Bf, neighbour, anyone.
2: learn the meaning of obligation. U mean no legal right. No he doesn't, but that's upto the tenants.
3: no the current tenants have a valid tenancy and can invite whomever they wish. LL has no say on the matter.
4:he would be a squatter if he stayed and they left. Otherwise he's a permitted occupier.
The bad tenant I referred to was if they all left and OP got a new one in0
