WHAT DOES SITTING TENANT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sitting tenant

A sitting tenant is a person who rents property in the United Kingdom and has a legal right to occupy that property for life. Upon the death of a sitting tenant, tenancy can pass to another family member. These tenancies were created in the United Kingdom before 15 January 1989 under the Rent Act of 1977. Sitting tenants are also referred to as protected tenants, regulated tenants and rent act tenants. The landlord/lady is responsible for maintaining the exterior of the property and insurance for the property. The tenant is responsible for the interior of the property and paying the rent, which is below market and is set by the Rent Office. The rent can be reviewed every two years or when improvements, such as gas central heating, double glazing or a new kitchen or bathroom, have been made to the property. A landlord may not evict a sitting tenant who has a protected tenancy. In some instances the tenant may agree to move, in which case the protected tenancy agreement transfers with the tenant.
