Thank you for your understanding.What would you need to know as a LL if a tenant wanted an OH to move in?

A guest can be a guest for as long as you want them to be a guest. You and you alone decide who can be in your property.0 -
Anyway back to the other point.

Okay thank you, perhaps I'll have him stay with me as a guest for the first few months (I'm a realist and I know it may not work out as living with someone is a big test of a relationship) and then perhaps when I renew my tenancy in April ask for him to be added at that time given I'll be renewing anyway.0 -

Now go get a bottle of bubbly and tell him the good news0 -
The issue could arise if you are currently in receipt of benefits as a single person for instance, and she was concerns that this would stop with your boyfriend moving in and potentially not being able to afford the rent together.
Saying that, what would she do? As stated above, just wait until the end of the fixed term.
I still think it would be good manners to let her know and provide her with the assurance that it won't change anything to your ability to pay rent, but it's up to you whether to do so or not.0 -

Thanks for your advice, I'm not in receipt of any benefits aside from 25% council tax discount which naturally will be sacrificed once we have registered him at the property.
Having considered the other points made I will have him move in on a guest basis and e-mail her to let her know my boyfriend is staying at the property on a trial basis to see if it works for us living together. I supposed I sometimes forget that even though I rent it is still my home, I feel so obliged to notify my landlady of everything I'm doing!0 -
Well I ( as a landlady) am going to disagree with most of the advice already given.
You have a good relationship with your LL and have clearly thought through all the important points about your OH ( employed, no criminal record etc etc) I think those points ARE relevant.
I would email her and give all the info you gave here and ask permission for OH to reside at the property, with you remaining as named tenant. I cannot see that any half decent LL would object but IMO it's far better all round to be completely honest about the situation.0 -

You can have whoever you want round whenever you want.
Its got nothing to do with the LL end of.0
