Provided that the circumstances are suitable for use, residential licences to occupy give both landlord and tenant much greater flexibility over the terms of occupation. This section includes a licence to use a garage as well as the more commonly used lodger agreements.
Residential licences to occupy
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.
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.
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.
Employee accommodation agreement
This agreement grants a licence to occupy to an employee living in accommodation (from a single room to a whole property) provided by the employer for the better performance of their work duties.
Parking space agreement
A licence agreement where the owner can sub-license his flat car space currently not in his use, to someone else for a period of time.
Licence agreement for a car parking space
Licence to use a car parking space in any situation.
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.
