• My GF is going to move in with me for 3/4 months whilst we wait to buy. She won't be registered at the flat or have a key etc. The landlord wants me to pay an extra £300 per month for this. The apartment is 5 beds but only 4 rooms are let (4 tenants). I know there are restrictions between 4 and 5 bed houses (fire doors etc) but as she will just be living with me, is it not my choice?

    maybe @Howard you would know?

    What does the contract say about moving other people in? The landlord has a right to know because a) they are unreferenced and b) cause additional wear and tear, c) impact on other tenants. Not sure about the £300, but they could justify it on the grounds that it covers them against the increased risk of the other tenants leaving because of the increased demands on shared facilities.
