I do not see any problem as such. Anyone would have a lease that would probably charge them half the rent. If she had a joint lease and one of them moved, the other would be responsible for the entire rent, as they would be “jointly and severally liable”. If you move with an individual lease, you would still only be responsible for half the rent. But have you thought about how to get another tenant if someone evacuates? The remaining tenant can make it difficult to rent it to someone else. Discuss it with both, completely. My wife and I still have six weeks for a one-year lease (in which we were model tenants). Today, my wife was called by a real estate agent on behalf of our landlord, who explained that he wanted to put the house on the market immediately. This would mean that a “for sale” sign will be placed outside the house and agents would show potential buyers around the house while we still live there (and pay the rent). I paid a lot of money in advance so that my wife could wait for the baby in peace and comfort. Now it looks like she has to put up with the scaffolding and construction workers in front of the windows all the time of the rental, with all that noise, dust and other inconveniences.

There do not appear to be any legal restrictions on the duration of a periodic rental agreement, provided that a guaranteed short-term rental agreement has been established as a first step. Nevertheless, I think I might want to review the agreement every year or every two years just because the rent should go up. I would re-enter a void if the rent went up – even if there is a legal procedure. We move abroad for a few years and we want to rent our house. There is apparently no problem with the relationship between rent and mortgage. However, the annual rental income will be over £25K, what our agents tell us is the maximum that will cover a secure short-lease agreement. The mortgage companies we spoke to require this type of rental. They have signed a 12-month fixed-term contract that is coming to the end of the first six months. The agreement does not set a notice period or an interruption period. So I guess the legal months apply to tenants and two months to landlords. It is usually due to tenants and should be included in the rental agreement. I think garden maintenance should be fully discussed at the beginning (or even before).

If you rent your property without furnished, your tenants have obviously already been established, so they may have the appropriate tools. If you rent it furnished, your tenants may not be afforded to buy their own tools. In addition, I have not seen your garden! Was it your pride before? If so, and it must be with the tenant`s agreement, you may feel easier to take care of it yourself. If the worst happens, it may be better to provide the cheapest lawn mower than to give tenants an excuse not to take care of the lawn. Is an AST the right form of lease? I believe there are monetary limits that may apply. The owner changed things! The Housing Act 1988 (as amended by the Housing Act 1996), which introduced secure short-term rental contracts, attempted to give landlords maximum withdrawal rights, while tenants gave a clear warning about when landlords needed property. They did this by saying that landlords had to notify landlords at least two months in advance and tenants had to inform landlords one month in advance. You can`t sign your rights, so the fact that you have an agreement that states you can be terminated a month in advance by the landlord is irrelevant – it would be an illegal eviction. The three-month notice from you and the “extract dates” seem to me to be unfair contract terms, and I would go to the Fair Trade Office if you have a problem, although negotiations, hopefully, would clarify the situation with the owner, who may not know she is acting in a seemingly unreasonable manner. . . .
