Summary

You should read this booklet if you are letting (or thinking of letting) part of your only or main home. In law, a resident landlord letting is one where the landlord and the person he or she lets to live in the same building. This includes conversions where they live in different parts of the same property (however long ago it was converted).

However, if

  • the property is split into purpose built flats, with landlord and occupier in different flats, or
  • you do not live in the same property as the person you let to,

you should instead read the booklet Assured and Assured Shorthold tenancies - a guide for landlords if the letting began on or after 15 January 1989; or Regulated Tenancies if it began before this date.
