Licenses
A tenancy gives the tenant a
legal interest in the land and property - in effect, legal
ownership for the period of the tenancy. Tenancies
can take several forms:
A license is different
- it gives the "tenant" permission to
occupy only. The tenant therefore gains no interest
in the property or land, merely a consent from the
landlord to occupy for a period of time.
The grant of a license does
not create an estate in land and the licensee does
not gain an interest in the property, purely
permission to occupy it.
Stays in Hotels, Hostels, Lodgings
(letting a room in your own home) holiday lettings,
employees of a business living on the premises, and
some HMOs are on license agreements.
