Adult student uni daughter and our rental

We are relocating and have taken on a rental, with just myself and my husband as tenants.
Our adult daughter is at uni full time and has her own rental property - and this also runs through the summer and into next year.
She will obviously be staying with us ashocly when she returns in June/July (still with her own rental in tact). Do I need to inform the landlord?

Not even if she comes and goes all summer?0

She'll need to inform her landlord that her rental is empty, otherwise there's a risk that the landlord's insurance will be invalidated.
Not sure about the legal requirement to inform your landlord, but good communication is always a bonus for the landlord/tenant relationship. I assume you have a spare room she'd be using?0 -
I think insurance need informing if the property is vacant for more than 2 weeks , others will possibly correct me0

All student rentals unfortunately run a year at a time, that's normal (landlord should take this into account) . Even though they are only there for 8 months at most.
Yes she's has a room.0 -
Thanks baby blade - it's ridiculous really perhaps she should go back for a night every now and then0

Your daughters tenancy agreement will clarify what vacated periods she needs to advise her LL of.
They differ from agreement to agreement so whilst some could be 14 days unoccupied others could be 30.
(the rental contract I supply to tenants are 30 days) but it usually ties in with insurance requirements.
A simple email to the LL will be more than sufficient to say the property will not be occupied during that period. usually most high value things will be removed from the property such as laptops so as long as the LL is aware of the vacation it shouldn't put the insurance under pressure.
With regard to your own rental its polite to just inform that your daughter will be visiting you over the summer but it shouldn't have any bearing on your own rental arrangements and the tenancy you have.in S 38 T 2 F 50

The tenancy agreement on your daughter's student house will confirm what the agreed arrangement is over the summer months. My daughter has one where either they opt to clear the house for the summer they pay a low retainer for the three/four months of Uni holidays If they choose to live there - full rental is charged. Keys are returned to the LL in the retainer period and not given back until the 15th Sept.0

Thank you I missed this one. We told the managing agents and the landlord verbally that we have a daughter at uni and that she would be visiting during the summer - it's likely though, like with lots of uni students - that this will be for quite a long time over the summer. I'm not sure why it's worrying me, I kind of feel she doesn't have a hone when in fact she has two
