Re: tenants - of course I will do the necessary research there and play it by the book. Remember that far more tenancies go perfectly smoothly than go sour and that most tenants who sign a contract with a one month notice period will keep to that if the owner and young baby wish to return.

I guess there's no need to answer the what am I offering qu. again.

1 months notice? Yes good luck with that.

Hang on - she'd be the owner (as she is now) no AST nothing like. Not sure where you're coming from if if I've not explained things well.

Ok, you said you were buying out the housing association. If you means she's buying out the housing association (using money you've given her) then fair enough.

...I will read it up, thanks for the link, it's worth mentioning again though that most tenancies go without a hitch and if the tenant agrees to one month notice then is likely to stick to that rather than any statutory right.

I've probably rented 15 different rooms out in my lifetime, more than that I expect and I have always agreed to one month either way. Less sometimes.

errrr...........so if that's not true then > 50% of tenancy scenarios go against the wishes of the owner. Surely it's safe to say there be lot less landlords around if that were the case. I know I've never heard of a problematic tenant (in terms of vacating the property) first hand.

but you cant base such an important aspect of your plan on the basis that statistically you dont think you will experience a problem when you give notice

I'm not - I'm just saying seeing everything as worst case scenario isn't ideal either and surely that's exactly what I should be planing based on - the likelihood of diff scenarios. Either way there are a whole bunch of other options if she does want to move back and we need to go via some kind of eviction process.

plan for the worst is a good motto to go by at times

Was the LL living there too at the time? As you would be a lodger then, not a tenant.
