Hello, my situation is a bit complex and I hope I will get some answers here. I was leaving alone in my 4 bedroom house and took on some lodgers to live with me.
In 2020 I got a job in another country and spent time going back and forth to my house in London. I did not change my lodgers’ status but I assumed by then they were considered tenants.
Now in 2023, I am back and I am living back in my house in which I have got my room. Now that I am back do I give them a new tenancy agreement? If yes then as tenants or lodgers?
Thanks,
Flore

Yes, I’m aware of the legal requirement. My comment was about its relevance to what preceeded it.
