Agreement for a landlord to share house/flat

Get a solicitor drafted agreement to share your home with a housemate or flatmate

About this service

The owner of a house or flat can use this agreement to take on a lodger to occupy part of the property with them. Because this document creates a licence and not a lease, it means that you can bring the agreement to an end much more easily than under a tenancy agreement, providing you with more protection. This agreement is suitable for up to 2 lodgers who will occupy a single room. If you are taking on more than one lodger in separate rooms, you will need to create a separate agreement for each room.

This product is suitable for use in: England & Wales

Useful information

Sharing your house or flat with a lodger?

If you own your house or flat and would like to rent out one of your rooms to a lodger, it is advisable to have an agreement in place to formally record the terms and conditions under which the lodger (referred to as the 'occupier') will share your property.

Most documents take about 15 - 45 minutes

You can try the service out beforehand, and can save your progress at any time and come back to the document later.
