Part-time lodger agreement: licence to rent a room
This is a straight forward licence agreement for use where
one party resides in the property during the week and the
other at the weekend for example
About this document
This licence agreement has been drawn for use by a property owner a property owner, who lets a room in a house, or the entire property to a lodger on a part time basis. For example, the most common use is where the property owner wishes to share his home on a part time basis, for example, a Monday to Friday agreement – where one party uses the house during the week and vacates at the weekend, leaving the other party to use the property. The agreement is suitable for any time split.
This is a licence, not a lease or tenancy agreement. Licences are suitable for a short rent period only. We recommend that this agreement be used for no more than 12 months at a time to avoid the property becoming the permanent residence of the lodger.
This agreement has been drawn primarily to protect the interest of the licensor / property owner.
If the lodger occupies full time, or if you own a flat or apartment rather than a house, there are suitable documents linked at the end of this page.
