Choosing the right lodger is INCREDIBLY important:

This person will have keys to your house, and will be able to rummage through all your things when you are not there!

It is worth taking a bit of care to ensure that they are who they say they are and that they will be a good 'fit' with your household.

The Your Law Store new lodger pack has all the forms that you need to help you select the right lodger.

Prepared by specialist landlord and tenant lawyer Tessa Shepperson (creator of the Lodger Landlord and Landlord Law websites), it includes forms, letters and checklists, together with helpful guidance notes.

Helps make making things more formal without making it too much of a burden.

The documents are very comprehensive. They provide the reassurance the lodger landlord needs, together with the confidence to proceed with the process
