Rent Book For Landlords & Tenants - Weekly or Monthly Rent Payments - By LegalPath®

Product Information

The requirements are mostly the same as for equivalent tenancies and licences starting after 15 January 1989 (sections 5.1-5.2). The difference is for tenancies where accommodation is shared between you and the tenant (for definition, see excluded tenancies, section 1.4-1.5), where the requirements are the same as for non-excluded tenancies listed in section 5.2 (minimum 4 weeks, prescribed information etc). Advertise well. Detail what you are offering: area, type of accommodation, terms and conditions, rent, bills, Council Tax, etc. If you advertise your vacant room well, any prospective lodger should not be under any illusions as to what’s on offer. There is more information about charging for rent and bills in section 3 of this guide.

You are free to decide most of these things with the person you let to, subject to the basic requirements of general housing law: you should provide access to kitchen, washing and toilet facilities (but these can be either the ones that you use or separate).If you take a deposit, it may be advisable to keep the deposit in a separate bank account so that it can be returned easily at the end of the letting unless the conditions for withholding it are met. Separate rules about taking tenancy deposits apply if you are the landlord of an assured shorthold tenancy.

Multiple lets / HMO (house of multiple occupation): I can’t imagine any landlord that rents out a property(ies) to multiple tenants (i.e. Houses In Multiple Occupation) that bypasses using a rent book, but then again, dumb-witted landlords aren’t uncommon. If you are visually impaired, the tenancy agreement must be written in a format you can use - for example, in large print or Braille. You can find samples of written tenancy agreements online.

However, it may be advisable to remind the occupier before the end of the fixed term that you want her to leave. The arrangement cannot normally be ended before the end of the fixed term unless both parties agree.
