Dual Occupancy

House shares, where rooms are single occupancy only have this rule for the safety of everyone in the house. 

  • Ensuring no breach of fire safety
  • Where a house share is set up for 5 people, the facilities in the house are for 5 people.  Extra people in the house will mean there is not enough facilities for the paying tenants in the house.
  • Higher – greater wear and tear and maintenance issues in the property as the house is being over used by Non tenants.
  • If your paying rent for the house this is to cover the bills and services.  If there are more people in the house than there should be , then you are at risk of having to pay extra bills outside of fair usage.  So potentially paying for someone who isnt a tenant in the house.
  • Safety and security.  Everyone should have the right to know who they are living with. If there are people here that shouldn’t be its a safety risk towards other tenants in the property.

If you notice a dual occupant and suspect this person is using the house and shouldn’t be , you can report it confidentially to Property Management.

We provide homes that are high standard of living and you our tenants are our top priority.  Ensuring your safety , security and Health and Safety.
