Document background
The Boarder Lodger Agreement serves as a crucial document for resident landlords in England and Wales who wish to rent out rooms in their primary residence while maintaining appropriate legal protections. This arrangement falls outside the scope of standard residential tenancies, offering more flexibility for landlords while still providing clear terms for lodgers. The document becomes necessary when homeowners or primary tenants want to generate additional income through letting rooms while continuing to live in the property. It typically includes provisions for rent, shared facilities, house rules, and notice periods, while ensuring compliance with the Protection from Eviction Act 1977 and other relevant legislation.
