In shared living arrangements where landlords and tenants share living space like kitchen or bathroom, the rights and responsibilities can vary depending on the specific terms of the rental agreement and the laws and regulations in the jurisdiction where the arrangement takes place.
These shared living arrangements might be as simple as several tenants sharing a single rental unit or a landlord renting out a room in their own house. Landlords and tenants should take into account the following main factors when it comes to shared living rights.
Concerning Landlords:
Right to Access Common parts: Usually, landlords are allowed to enter common parts of the building (such as shared kitchens, living rooms, and corridors) without giving prior notice. To access a tenant’s private living area, they often must give a sufficient amount of warning.
Landlords bear the responsibility for upkeep of the common areas and guaranteeing their safety and livability for every renter.
Lease Agreement: It is recommended that landlords own a well-defined lease agreement that delineates the terms and conditions of the cohabitation.
“I/WE have been doing business with George Brown Professional Corp for many years on files that became problematic and difficult to find closure on. Mr. Brown and staff "came to the rescue" on each occurrence and painlessly resolved the issues to our satisfaction. Paul Redley VP Commercial Mortgages“
“George fought very hard for my claim and was able to resolve the matter very quickly - if you have any small claims issues, I would highly recommend you use George and his staff.“
My husband and I hired George Brown for a landlord and tenant dispute. Since the moment we hired him, he immediately lifted a huge weight off of our shoulders. George made us feel confident in the process and he was reassuring every step of the way! We had to do very little in regards to the process as George handled everything in a timely manner. The best news..we won our case! Would definitley hire him again in the future, if required.
