~ how do you distinguish a tenant from a lodger
~ what difference does it make
~ do you need a written agreement to create a binding tenancy
~ does the landlord have the right to enter during the tenancy
~ who can use the garden or parking space
~ what is an assured tenancy
~ what rights does the tenant have when it expires
~ does the landlord need a court order to make the tenant leave
~ if the rent is too high or too low can you change it
~ can the landlord claim for damage at the end of the letting
~ if the tenant does not leave can the landlord turn off the water or change the locks
