Pelei and Lois are a couple. They flave lived togettel for twelve years allu Lols is six months pregnant with their first child. They were looking for a flat in Birmingham, England. They found an advert in the local newspaper which read: ‘Fashionable flat. Would suit young professionals who like to party. The owner, Stewart, showed the couple round the flat. It was a large minimalist flat over two floors with two bedrooms, a bathroom, a downstairs lavatory and an open plan living room and kitchen. Peter and Lois said they were interested. Stewart provided the couple with a ‘licence agreement with the following terms: (1) This is a licence, not a lease. The owner does not agree to rent the property out on any other basis. In the event that the occupants seek a declaration that this is a lease, this agreement shall automatically be null and void. (2) The occupants will pay $350 each per week as an occupation charge. They shall be separately responsible for that occupation charge and not responsible for each other’s payment obligations. (3) The owner will provide cleaning services each week for which the occupants will pay E150 per month. (4) The owner reserves the right to occupy the property with the tenants. Peter and Lois signed the agreement. They are now seeking your advice as to the nature of their rights. Stewart did not provide cleaning services because Lois told him "we can manage perfectly well, thank you". Therefore, the couple did not pay the $150 per month. Last Saturday night, Stewart arrived at the flat unannounced and slept in the second bedroom. Peter and Lois want that room for their baby when it is born.
