Can't find an equivalent for Wales :-(

AFAIK, legislation in Wales is the same as England, it's only Scotland that has a different legal system. I'm sure someone will correct me if that's wrong.

... for a lot of things, yes, but this website itterates over and again that it "applies to England". Some other sites say "England and Wales" but I can't find the information on them!

Darn it. Sorry.

I believe if it is your home, they pretty much don't have any rights and you can boot their sorry *rse out on the street immediately.

I cannot substantiate this with any links as I am too lazy to google - and others will no doubt have supplied them.

They are not a tenant. They are with you under the "rent a room" scheme with the house being your primary residence.

Good luck

most housing law is the same in England and Wales with some slight differences where the Welsh assembly has changed legislation, to check the law in Wales relating to housing issues try Sheltercymru.org.uk which is the Welsh shelter site.

This subject however if covered by protection from eviction act 1977 as he is not a tenant but an unsecured licencee. therefore entitled to reasonable notice in line with rental period, however if he does not leave whilst the landlord does not have to obtain a court order for possession I would always advise it to avoid a claim under the protection from ecition act being made against him.
