This area covers the situation where a homeowner lets out a room or a part of their home while they continue to live there, known in plain language as becoming a live-in landlord. It involves choosing between a lodger licence or an assured informal tenancy, and navigating the rights and duties that arise for both the occupier and the homeowner. It depends on the type of agreement and how it is drafted, documented and enforced. The process may be shaped by tenancy rules, eviction rights and safety obligations.
The key decision is whether the occupier has a licence or a tenancy, which affects eviction rights and the level of protection. A solicitor can advise on drafting a clear licence or tenancy agreement, serving lawful notices, and handling issues such as rent payments, deposits, and potential disputes. They can also assist with safety standards, rights of access, and resolving conflicts without escalating to court proceedings when possible.

Bethany has been marvellous. Replies to emails promptly and been available on the phone when needed. Given the tight timescale for the conveyancing imposed by the buyers she has worked miracles!

Tagged solicitors Georgianna Kaya and John Rockliff Smart
I used John Smart at Richard Griffiths for the probate and sorting out of my Aunt’s Will. He was professional and helped us to sort out a tricky situation. I found him professional but not distant, easy to communicate with and available when I needed questions answered. I also used Georgianna and team for the conveyancing of the property I was selling. They were efficient and kept everything moving along nicely. Again it was always possible to get hold of someone to answer questions and report on progress. I highly recommend the firm. Everyone has been a pleasure to deal with.
