Renting a spare room is increasingly popular. The key to making sure that you stay in control is that you use the right type of agreement for your circumstances. Our lodger agreements are "licences to occupy", suitable where the landlord lives alongside the lodger. All are drawn by property lawyers, easy to edit and come with full explanatory guidance notes.
Lodger agreements and licences
Lodger agreement: licence to rent a room
Use this lodger agreement to rent a room in your home to one or more people. This agreement creates a licence to use the property, with far fewer legal requirements for the landlord than a lease or a tenancy agreement.
Student lodger agreement
A licence agreement for a house owner to let rooms in her house to fellow students. Fine too, for any situation where a house owner in occupation allows friend to take rooms on a shared basis.
Part-time lodger agreement
A licence agreement for a property owner to take in a part-time lodger who occupies perhaps at weekends or weekdays or when he is in this country.
Licence agreement: letting private garage
A letting agreement for renting a garage, a lock-up, or any other small building or piece of open land for non-business use for a short term of up to 3 years. Do not use if tenant wants business use.
