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 owners and 2 lodgers. All the owners must live with and share the property with the lodgers. The lodgers must occupy a single room. If there are 2 lodgers in separate rooms, you will need to create a separate agreement for each room.

Note that to use this document for properties in Wales, you must not give a notice to the lodger stating that this agreement is an occupation contract under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016.

If there's a mortgage over the property, you may need to get the consent of your mortgage provider to take in the lodger.
