Someone else is living in the house

Is there such a statutory form "more information from"?

 

Landlord owns property for twenty years, lease has been done many years before and L' has no copy of lease.

 

The rent registers are available but how can they ascertain whether the leaseholder is in breach of subletting?

 

If landlord has no copy of lease and tenant doesn't have one or fails to supply a copy then I would write a new one and issue it and then the tenant will either pull a copy of the old tenancy out or have to abide by the new one.

Landlord is foolish for letting it stand for 20 years IMO.

But if the tenant has been been a leaseholder for many years and comes under the 1977 Rent Act, then that surely, is the most up to date tenancy agreement that the tenant can abide by, so no need to write a new tenancy agreement. Also, I would have thought having a tenant in the property for so long would mean the 1977 Rent Act supersedes any previous tenancy. Have you read the 1977 Rent Act? All information re. succession to the tenancy and which family members can inherit the tenancy, albeit as an assured tenant paying market rent, is in there. Also, the family member who inherits the tenancy, is under no obligation to accept any improvements, such as central heating you may wish to make.

When I gained my tenancy, I was just informed to refer to the 1988 Assured Tenancy Act. No other tenancy agreement between L and T was required.

If the Tennant can't produce a copy of the tenancy then how does the landlord know the what he can and can't do?

The 1977 Rent Act will have to apply instead. There is a later 1985 Landlord and Tenant Act, that states what repairs the landlord is responsible for by law, regardless of what the landlord has written in the tenancy agreement.
