As
a tenant, it is your responsibility to abide to the terms and conditions
mentioned in the tenancy agreement which may include guidelines set forth
regarding rent payments as well as guidelines related to the property in
question. However, matters are often complicated when there is no written
tenancy agreement and both landlord and tenants continue their agreement based
on verbal understanding only. It may seem honourable at first but a lack of
written agreement can be the reason behind substantial confusion and
misunderstandings. According to landlord and tenants solicitors
either party may purposely choose not to sign an agreement right away.
The Tenants are let in on a
trial basis:-
It
is possible that the landlord may purposely refrain from signing a tenancy
agreement right away. They may have decided on a “trial period”, for say two
months, in which the tenant will be observed. And if the tenant seems
appropriate only then will the tenancy be put down in written form.
Is the Tenant Liable to pay rent
during this time?
According
to landlord and tenants solicitors, the tenant will
have to pay rent during this trial period regardless of a signed tenancy
agreement. However, the amount of rent during this time period is up for
question. The landlord and tenant may agree on paying only a partial amount the
remaining of which will be recovered when the tenancy agreement is signed.
This
type of agreement often benefits both the tenants and landlords provided that a
written agreement is signed as soon as the trial period ends.
