Hi Everyone
I’ve a great tenant for the last number of years. John has sublet a room on and off for a number of years without issue (and with my permission).
As he was living on his own for the last while, the most recent lease just has John’s name on it. I used to insist on a new joint lease being signed for both tenants.
My queries are
1. If John sublets with no new lease, will the roommate have residency rights anyway?
2. Should I insist on a new lease with both names?
3. Am I better off just having one tenant on the lease? I’m not concerned about having recourse to a second person re the rent.
Thanks
Thomas
