Am I a tenant or lodger?

most of the above is irrelevant. The wording of the deposit is irrelevant. You paid a deposit to a resident LL, that is FACT. It is a lodger deposit no matter what you may want to call it instead.CrumpetCombe wrote: »Does it make a different if the landlord self-proclaimed to be the landlord when advertising the available room in this property? The advert does not state specifically if the room is for a tenant or lodger, and does it make a difference if the landlord did not dispute my use of the words tenancy deposit? I was not corrected and told it's actually a lodger's deposit.
It's only when I viewed the property did the landlord state the property is actually owned by the parents.
And what happens if the parents die in the next year and the landlord then inherits the property? If I'm assuming even if I'm classed as a tenant I can downgrade to a lodger in such circumstance? :eek:
your LL is the son to whom you pay the rent
what happens when the son inherits the property has no impact on you since you are already son's lodger.0
