The tenancy trail

Question:

Do any of the following situations apply?

1. Either the rental is more than £100,000 per annum or, for tenancies which started before 1st April 1990, the rateable value on 31st March 1990 was more than £1,500 for Greater London or £750 elsewhere*. (These are known as tenancies at a high rent.)

2. Either there is no rent payable, or the rent is £1,000 per annum or less for Greater London or £250 per annum elsewhere, or for tenancies starting before 1st April 1990 the rent payable is less than 2/3 of the rateable value of the property on 31st March 1990. (These are known as tenancies at a low rent.)

3. The tenancy is granted by an educational institution where the tenant is a student on a course provided by the landlord educational institution**.

* This is rent per tenancy.  So if there is one (eg joint and several) tenancy agreement where the total rent for that tenancy is over £100,000 pa, click yes.  But not if there are several individual tenancies (for people who have their own tenancy agreement) where the total rent for the property for all the tenancies together comes to over £100,00.

** Note that this is ONLY where the student’s landlord is the educational institution which provides their course.  It is not, for example, where the landlord is just someone who rents to students, even if the landlord was someone recommended by the student accommodation office
