Perhaps you have heard of rent-to-rent, sometimes known as let-to-let or multi-let?
Whatever it is called, there seems to be no end to the fashion whereby a tenant rents a property on an assured shorthold tenancy basis but, unbeknownst to the owner, then goes on to sublet or create licences to multiple occupiers, raking in loads of profit.
So, if you don’t want to every possible corner of your property occupied by random individuals, a letter from your mortgage lender about breach of conditions, a visit from the Local Authority, invalidation of the building insurance and a court process when you find the occupier(s) don’t want to leave, then I suggest a very careful look at your assured shorthold tenancy agreement to ensure parting with possession in any way is not allowed.
