Hi all,
I had initially agreed with a landlord to rent a room from them and to receive an assured shorthold tenancy contract. However, they are now asking me if I can sign a lodger agreement instead. The agreement sets out the term of the lease and the utilities that will be included if I take up residency. Does anyone know if this will be sufficient in terms of establishing my COMI? I'm a little perplexed - is a lodger agreement the UK equivalent of a rent a room agreement? If so, I think that should be ok. However, I have been advised that a judge might find this a bit 'watery'.
If anyone has any advice, I'd be very happy to hear it!
Thanks
J
