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.

Where a solicitor protects your position

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.

We had Sue as our contact. Very professional and good communication despite a challenging chain. Pity other solicitors in chain were not up to Sue’s standard.

Shilpav Patel acted on my behalf for my Sale & Purchase and once again he didn't let me down. Always available to me to answer any of my questions and reassure me. I have no hesitation in recommending Shilpav and his Secretary Janet, absolute Stars both of them. Thank you.

Lauren Clay

Tagged solicitor Lauren Clay

After a negative experience with another local solicitors we didn't hold out much hope for anything better. Lauren and her team worked hard to get us to complete on time, taking constant phonecalls and emails from us. Pushing and rooting for us. Finally the experience we wanted from solicitors! Thank you
