Top 10 of 4,694 law firms for Becoming a Live in Landlord, Housing & Property

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

From the very start, Lara has been supportive, very quick and clear with communications and has gone above and beyond to get things sorted in what were not straightforward transactions. We are very grateful we were recommended to Cozens-Hardy and would highly recommend them to others. A fantastic service!

Leona Ho

Tagged solicitor Leona Ho

We have used Leona several times over the years for conveyancing and to draw up contracts. When we first met her several years ago, she was a trainee whose talent, work ethic and attention to detail was remarkable. We recently had a house to sell so we tracked Leona down to secure her amazing services for conveyancing. As always, she did not disappoint and the process was smooth and efficient. Leona is a very impressive legal professional but aside from her tremendous skill and knowledge, it's her warm personality and friendly manner that makes her such a pleasure to work with. We are not surprised that she recently won 'Lawyer of the Year' - very well deserved in our view.

From the outset, communications were efficient, everything explained and the process was followed up with diligence and efficiency. We liked the mix of comms styles both through email and by phone.
