The Landlord agrees to provide the Lodger’s Room for the use of the Lodger. The Lodger also has the shared use of the rest of the house (except other people’s bedrooms) and garden.
The Lodger agrees to pay to the Landlord the above Deposit and Rent on the Start Date, and the Rent thereafter each calendar month. The Landlord agrees that there will be no extra charge for the Included Bills.
The Landlord will be entitled at the end of the occupancy agreement to deduct from the deposit any sums due by the Lodger to cover the cost of repairing or replacing any broken, damaged or lost items and the expense of making good any failure by the Lodger to fulfil any other conditions of the occupancy agreement.
The deposit will be refunded to the Lodger within 10 days after the termination of the agreement. A list of deductions from the deposit will be attached where deductions have been made, notwithstanding fair wear and tear.
The agreement may be terminated by either the Lodger or the Landlord, by giving written notice at least one calendar month in advance.
If the termination date is part way through a rental month, then the unused proportion of the rent will be returned to the Lodger.
