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.

I use Brightstar Law for all of my HR services. As a small business with approximately 8-15 staff members, they provide all the support I need, from keeping our HR documents up to date and assisting with staff appraisals to implementing their new HR software system. The software makes it easy for both me and my team to book and track holidays, and all of our information is stored securely in one portal that is very user-friendly. I also find it incredibly reassuring that they have employment law expertise in-house. Claudia and Joe work closely together to support Enaflo in any situation that requires HR or employment law advice, giving us confidence that we're always receiving the right guidance. They provide a personal service, are highly responsive, and are always there when needed. I would highly recommend Brightstar Law to any business looking for reliable HR and employment law support.
