Lodger Agreement Legal Template
A comprehensive kit designed for you by LegalPath to create a legally valid Lodger Agreement without the need for a solicitor and their fees.
This lodger agreement template sets out the standard terms for an agreement between a landlord and lodger intending to rent a room in the landlord’s property.
This lodger agreement template provides for standard agreement terms, including rent amount, rent review period, additional services and charges, pets, payment by standing order, permitted usage of the room and other rooms in the house, and length of the term.
The agreement is easily altered to suit your needs and will cover all situations of a landlord renting a room within a property in which he or she lives.
What is a Lodger License Agreement?
A Lodger License Agreement sets out the terms upon which the Lodger can occupy a property. The Lodger is provided with a room in the property for a short period of time; this grants the Lodger exclusive possession of neither the room nor the property. Lodgers are not regarded as Tenants and do not share the same legal statutory protections.
When should I consider using a Lodger Licence Agreement?
- You wish to rent out a room in your residential property and you will continue to live in the property.
- The property is your principal home.
- The property is in England or Wales.
