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.

Victoria Parnell

Tagged solicitor Victoria Parnell

I can’t thank Victoria enough for the incredible service she provided during both my property sale and purchase. She was everything you hope for in a solicitor: responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in getting things right. Her updates were always clear and timely, and she explained every step in a way that made me feel completely at ease. Even when complications arose, Victoria handled them with professionalism and calm confidence, keeping the whole process on track. It’s rare to find someone who combines expertise with such kindness and reliability. Victoria is a credit to her profession, and I’m deeply grateful for everything she did.

Jessica Whitbourn

Tagged solicitor Jessica Whitbourn

Selling our flat was not as straightforward as it was supposed to be, I guess these things never are. Jess was so supportive all the way through and kept me updated at every step. Jess has amazing patience, she is professional and approachable at all times. I would certainly recommend her services and will using her again in the future. Thank you, Jess.
