JollyJ Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hello there, Could I ask if having made a contract as a LICENCE AGREEMENT, I still need to register a deposit as a landlord? Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortitia Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hi Jolly, You should have posted this on Landlord not Tenant. However, yes, the lastest thinking is you do need to protect the deposit as a licence is deemed to be a contract. Mortitia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grampa Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 But if it was for the purpose of a lodger and you are a live in landlord then you dont need to protect the deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortitia Hi Mortitia This is a new on on me ! my understanding is the dep pro ONLY applies to an AST - nothing else ? Where can we find some of the "latest thinking" ? OP should also be aware that if it the letting situation looks like an AST & smells like an AST then it may well be regarded as an AST ...even if it is written up as a LICENCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
