Interesting article on the distinction between leases and licence arrangements for residential property -

Why is my landlord offering a licence & not a tenancy agreement?

There are important distinctions in law between those who occupy a premises under a tenancy or under a licence

Interesting, but doesn't really clarify much?

Isn't the license treatment usually a rent a room or digs scenario?

Well, I guess that’s the point of the article - there is no clear demarcation between leases and licence arrangements.
