DEFINITION OF A LODGER

A lodger is someone who usually resides with the landlord and shares his home and living spaces such as bathrooms and kitchen. A lodger will usually have their own room but they live in the landlords home with their permission. Under this arrangement, the lodger agrees that they do not have the right to exclude the landlord from either the room they occupy to sleep in or for any other part of the property. In this respect, the main difference between a lodger and a tenant is that a lodger (legally known as a licensee) is someone who lives in the same property as the property owner.

DEFINITION OF A TENANT

By contrast, tenants are individuals who pay rent for a property to a landlord usually on a monthly basis and they usually have exclusive possession of a property and usually a landlord would not be resident within the property.

The Eviction process is different for each category of occupier and for more info please visit our website or call our offices.

How to appeal an enforcement notice

An enforcement notice is usually served by the local authority when it is believed that development has occurred unlawfully and often this is because such development has been carried out without formal planning permission. Once an enforcement notice is received it is imperative that you seek professional advice and guidance to deal with the same, because there are strict time limits within which to appeal. Failure to do so will entail that an appeal cannot be lodged out of time and thereafter you will be subject to the conditions of the notice.
