Can Landlord change my rental agreement?

Posted at: 2015-03-04 
Actually I'd object strongly if my agent/landlord started charging me for the occasional stop over/visitor. Regardless of who this is - are you not entitled to have visitors! On the other hand if this develops into a move in situation then you'd be in trouble as this would be seen as 'subletting', which most Agreements don't allow. Insurance comes into the situation too as would use of utilities, if this is covered by your rent at the moment.

You are however, entitled to 'quiet enjoyment' of the property you are paying to rent. And if you have a roll-over agreement going on now, I think, but am not certain, he could change the terms of the agreement after a certain period.

As a lodger, there are issues with people not on the lease residing in the residence. The landlord has the option to completely bar your new partner if they so choose. Allowing you to pay for the extra person is actually the nice way to handle this.

It sounds like you are the one changing the agreement. Your new partner can't just stay in the landlords property without permission.

Lots of people take advantage of landlords, some landlords say a max stay of 3 weeks per year because sometimes things like water electric are included in the rent so what you use is doubled at least so who pays the residue the landlord, its your visitor, also some people sublet

Your partner can visit, no problem,but they can't stay there unless they are also on the rental agreement

This really depends on the frequency of visits and the additional power and water used....if this is occasional then it's unfair...if regular then maybe you should pay extra

Uh, no. A landlord can't do that.

I don't think they should be doing that, the rent is for the whole property no matter how many people are present.

if you have a written contract, until that has expired, all the terms of that contract are valid

Here in the UK I am currently a lodger and had a written agreement in place with my landlord.

Recently my new partner visited and my landlord now wants to charge for every time they visit and/or stay.

Are they allowed to even do this? It just doesn't sound right or sit well with me.
