Old AST and children now over 18

15 Feb 2021 | 1 comment

AST was 2012, there were children under 18 at the time, now they are over 18, LL wants to do a rent increase without issuing a new AST, so should a s48 be done (to include new tenants – children) then the rent increase notice ?

    The children turning 18 won’t, by itself, make them tenants. Therefore, the section 13 rent increase can be sent to the named tenants as per the tenancy agreement.

    A section 48 is not necessary as there are no new tenants nor has the landlord presumably changed details since.
