tenancy agreement for a lodger
 

anyone know where to get one? Is it safe to use a suitably altered template from the net or would amending it yourself void it? What makes them legally binding (i.e. having a witness/spare copies kept away from the 2 parties entering the agreement etc)?

Thanks in advance, Pt6

More importantly mate, I think I speak for everyone here, is your tenant female and is she fit?

A contract is legally binding provided there is consideration (his money in exchange for a place to stay), that you both intended to be bound by the terms, and that you both agreed to them.

Provided you have all that, whatever form it takes is legally 'fine'. Obviously you want it in writing and you want it at least signed.

I'd grab a template online and make sure it includes everything you need.

Any grounds for that assumption, or do you just assume everyone is gay until proven otherwise? :rolleyes:

:smt038 What is he bringing as a house warming gift? It's obviously either gold, frankincense or myrrh. :D

I would've been helpful if I'd had anything useful to say. Sorry dude! :)

One other thing to be aware of (unrelated to the agreement) - if you take on a tenant, speak to your home insurer (if you have home insurance), as having a tenant in there may make certain sections of the policy void in certain circumstances unless they were aware of the tenant.
