Tenancy Agreements..? |
I am planning to rent a room in london for my university. What should I expect in the agreement to make it legal? The estate agent is acting on behalf of the Lanlord and he will sign the contract. It should be a shorthold tenancy lease, which is usually six months at a time. You will need to sign this document in front of a witness and the landlord, or his/her agent will have to do the same. You could check the validity of the lease at a Citizens Advice Bureau which will not cost you anything. As a tenant you have certain rights which are protected under the law, as does the landlord. It is always worth getting the lease to be checked out properly before you go ahead and sign it, because if the lease is legal then you are bound by the contract between you and the landlord. There are some dodgy landlords, but most are abiding by the law, but it really is worht your while to get it checked out and don't sign anything you are not sure of. Good luck with the University and the lease. One thing you need to do is make sure it is a LEASE and not a licence. I am really not trying to be racist, but asian landlords do have a habit of offering licence as opposed to a lease. My old landlord lecturer lived in London in the 1980's and he was saying it was very common then. I have never lived in London, but i have heard it is more common there so be careful!!!!!! No - it will usually the letting agency on behalf of your landlord. Read it thoroughly though and question anything you're not happy about. Usually the landlord however if he is not in the country the estate agent will sign on his behalf |
