Joint Tenancies. If a group of you are renting a property together and you are all named on the contract, it is likely that you will have what is called a joint tenancy. A joint tenancy means that you are each liable for the whole rent of the premises and for any other obligations under the tenancy. For example: There is a group of four tenants on a joint tenancy for 9 months and one tenant decides to leave in the sixth month because they are fed up that no one else does any cleaning. Each joint tenant was paying an equal share of the rent. In this case, the landlord is entitled to collect the shortfall in rent from any or all of the remaining tenants or their guarantors. These remaining tenants may subsequently be able to recover this money from the missing tenant. In the above circumstances, the best solution is for the leaving tenant to find someone to replace them. More information is available in our self-help guide on leaving a tenancy early. Not all joint tenancies have an equal share of the rent; some rooms may cost more or less depending on the size. If you are unsure about what you are being charged for a room in a shared house compared to the others, please have the contract checked with the Student Advice Centre.

During this trial period the courts will allow us to end your tenancy as long as we have followed the correct legal procedures. We reserve the right to extend this trial period in certain circumstances. As an introductory tenant you will have fewer rights than a secure tenant, these are explained on pages 9-10 of this agreement. If we allocated you this tenancy while you were part way through an introductory tenancy with another housing provider, you must serve the rest of the 12 month trial period and any extended period before you become a secure tenant with us. When the trial period and any extended period ends, you automatically become a secure tenant unless we have issued court proceedings to end your tenancy.

If one of you ends the tenancy, this will end the tenancy for both of you.
