shilu Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 My new tenants, husband and wife, will also have the wife's sister staying with them. She will not be contributing to the rent. Do I class her as part of the household so only name the 2 tenants on the AST, or do I name her as a permitted occupier or do I leave her unnamed as though she is a guest, Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richlist Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Tenants can have anyone they like staying with them as often as they like. Family, friends, business associates etc, you'll never know who or when or why......and why would you want to. I'd just name the two rent payers and keep it simple. Don't forget to get references, rent guarantee insurance or guarantors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grampa Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Just don't accept any funds from that extra person as it may imply you have given them a tenancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortitia Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Another thing to look out for is if this person in not a UK national - what is her status? I would ask to see her passport and visa which should say how long she is allowed to stay in the UK. Do not protect overstayers it is an offence.
