    Still the confusion between what someone can do and what they may do.

    Obviously a tenant can move someone into their room, but that does not imply that they have a right to do so.

    Then, of course, having a guest now and then is not the same as 'moving in'.


    A guest can be there 7 days a week and still be a guest.

    Guest101 has all the answers. We'll wait for him to chime in. He may stop by my desk with the answers as he knows where I work.



    No, just answers to the basics of contract and tenancy laws ( amongst others)

    There are a number of ways to skin a cat.

    It's interesting how naive people are about technology though. There you are subletting illegally and the landlord rocks up and says It looks to me like you're subletting illegally.

    He doesn't have to say how he knows.

    Smart remarks about how many laptops you've got will amuse him no end as he evicts you.



    Having a lodger, or a guest is not subletting. It's interesting how naïve you are about the actual definitions of words are.....


    There you are a month in to your tenancy, your LL rocks up and says your illegally subletting, and you slam the front door in his face....

    Why would it be unenforceable? (apart from you saying so, of course)

    I'd have to read the clause to answer that, and understand the full terms of the tenancy.


    Which is why I said likely. Not definitely.


    But certainly I'd give a good go at picking it apart.

    You cannot charge someone when you have no contract, that's the basics.

    Who said he was doing that?

    And what has occurred in each case in my colleague's experience? Were the tenants subletting or were they accommodating guests? I'm thinking of the property in Nottingham, but you probably knew that.

    Were the Nottingham tenants a month into their tenancies?

    What about the ones in Redhill?

    What about the fact your posting in a thread about people visiting or moving in WITH the actual tenant....


    And that you said, if a tenant moved in a partner your friend would charge that person rent.....


    ....please try harder

    And where does it say he would charge rent without a contract?

    Well you have a contract first, then charge rent.


    So you should've said, he would offer to add them to the tenancy. Note the word offer.


    If they don't agree, there's no way to force rent from them.


    Had you said evict them and the tenant, that would also be reasonable.
