If you searched using older wording

If you searched for a lodger agreement, room let agreement, lodger agreement template, or resident-landlord agreement in England, this is the dedicated option for a room let in your own home from 1 May 2026 rather than a standard tenancy agreement adapted afterwards.

Choose this when you are renting out a room in your own home

This pack is for room lets where the landlord lives at the property and the occupier is sharing the home. It is kept separate from the Standard, Premium, Student, and HMO / Shared House packs because a resident-landlord setup works differently in practice.

It is built around the points that usually matter most in a lodger arrangement: shared kitchens or bathrooms, house rules, key handling, notice expectations, guests, and the practical reality of living under the same roof.

Choose this agreement if

  • the landlord lives in the property and the occupier is sharing the home
  • you want a room-let agreement with clearer wording on house rules and shared spaces
  • you want notice and day-to-day expectations set out clearly from the start
  • you want the resident-landlord setup kept separate from standard tenancy and HMO products
  • you want practical room-let paperwork alongside the main agreement

Choose a different agreement if

  • the landlord does not live at the property and the arrangement is really a standard residential tenancy
  • the property is a shared house or HMO with sharers but no resident landlord
  • the case is really a whole-property Standard, Premium, or Student tenancy rather than a room let in the landlord's home

What this agreement covers

  • Resident-landlord room-let agreement built for shared living
  • Clearer wording on house rules, shared spaces, and notice
  • Separate from standard tenancy, student, and HMO packs
  • Guided generator with a preview before payment

How this fits the current England rules

  • Keeps the resident-landlord option separate from the main England tenancy products from 1 May 2026.
  • Captures shared-facility, notice, and house-rule expectations directly in the guided flow.
  • Helps avoid treating a lodger arrangement like a standard whole-property tenancy.
  • Includes practical supporting paperwork for room-let setup and handover.
  • Use the main England comparison page if you are unsure whether the arrangement is really a lodger setup.

£24.99
Best when

Why a lodger arrangement needs its own paperwork

A resident-landlord room let creates a different kind of day-to-day risk from a standard tenancy. The shared-home expectations need to be written down in a way that matches the practical reality of the arrangement.

Shared-home rules need to be explicit

Visitors, quiet hours, shared bathrooms or kitchens, and general house rules create more tension if they are left to assumption rather than written down clearly.

The room-let setup still needs records

Key handover and move-in checks matter in a lodger arrangement too, especially because the landlord and occupier are living under the same roof.

Wrong-route paperwork muddies the position

If a lodger setup is documented like a standard tenancy, the paperwork can become harder to explain because it does not match the resident-landlord reality.

How this helps you

The pack helps the landlord make the room-let terms clearer, start the arrangement on a better footing, and avoid treating a shared-home setup like a whole-property tenancy.

It keeps the house rules in writing

The appendix turns shared-home expectations into something clear and visible instead of leaving them as an informal understanding.

It supports a cleaner move-in

The checklist and handover record help the arrangement start with clearer expectations and better admin.

It fits the resident-landlord setup properly

The pack is built for a room let in the landlord's own home rather than forcing the arrangement into whole-property tenancy paperwork.

How it works

The workflow focuses on the shared-home questions that matter most before a lodger moves in.

Step 01

Add the room-let details

Enter the occupier, rent, payment, and property details that shape the resident-landlord agreement.

Step 02

Answer the shared-home questions

Work through the house rules, keys, and practical room-let points so the pack covers the arrangement properly.

Step 03

Generate the full Lodger pack

Download the agreement, checklist, handover record, and house-rules appendix as one room-let pack for the landlord's home.

England tenancy agreement FAQs

Straight answers on which England agreement to use, what it includes, and how it fits the current rules.

Because a room let in the landlord's own home is different from a standard tenancy. Where the occupier is sharing the property with a resident landlord, it helps to use wording built for shared living, house rules, and room-let expectations rather than relying on a general tenancy agreement.
Yes. Lodger is a dedicated England product for resident-landlord room lets and licence-style arrangements. It is kept separate from the standard tenancy, student, and HMO / shared-house products.
Usually not. If the landlord is not resident, compare the Standard, Premium, Student, and HMO / Shared House packs instead, because the arrangement is less likely to be a true lodger setup.
That is not automatically a lodger arrangement. A single room let can still fall into a different category if the landlord is not resident, so it is better to compare the England products properly rather than assuming lodger is correct just because only one room is being let.
Yes. One of the main reasons to use this pack is to deal more clearly with practical shared-living points such as kitchens, bathrooms, access, visitors, quiet enjoyment within a shared home, and house-rule expectations.
That is exactly where confusion tends to happen. If you are unsure, compare the products on the main England comparison page first so the arrangement can be matched more closely to how the property is actually occupied.
Usually yes. This pack is intended for resident-landlord room-let arrangements where the occupier is sharing the home and the setup needs to be documented as that kind of occupation, rather than as a standard whole-property tenancy.
