A tenant cannot bring in a tenant without the consent of the Landlord what will be the position of Law concerning a Family member who agreed to stay with him while not around.
This can be illustrated as A who decides to rent a house from the Landlord while the Landlord gave him an exclusion clause preventing him from bringing in a new Tenant, If he brings in C. The landlord can eject C without giving him quit notice because he is not a statutory tenant. The above illustration though seems clear and simple to explain. But, what will be the position of Law in a situation where A's mother came to visit him and she decided to stay at home while he moved away or travelled to another town. Does the mother have the right to be served quit notice by the Landlord; this will only be possible if she is recognised as a tenant. In this scenario it can be argued that the mother is just a lodger and not a real tenant. But a counter argument will simply be that if a person is been given a special room in a house she can be recognised as tenant. Will action to evict A's mother without quit amount to trespass or it will be a rightful eviction?...
