# RENT-TO-RENT AGREEMENT

Date: 30 September 2031

Parties: Aisha Rahman and Blueoak Property Management Limited

## 1. Purpose and parties

Aisha Rahman grants Blueoak Property Management Limited a three-year head tenancy of 25 Pine Lane, Manchester, for lawful residential subletting. The property is leasehold, so completion is conditional on the superior landlord and mortgage lender giving any required consent; Blueoak must not assume permission from silence.

## 2. Facts, scope and terms

Blueoak pays guaranteed rent of £1,450 each month by the fifth day, including during void periods, and provides a two-month deposit. The parties record that Blueoak's margin from lawful subletting is its commercial risk; Aisha receives no share unless separately agreed.

## 3. Process and responsibilities

Blueoak may grant only permitted ASTs or room licences consistent with the planning use and any HMO licence. It must not exceed the authorised occupancy, grant a subtenancy beyond the head term or accept a tenant without required right-to-rent checks.

## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards

Blueoak handles day-to-day repairs, deposit protection, gas safety, EICR, EPC, licensing and tenant communications. Aisha handles structural repairs and mortgage covenants. Each party carries appropriate insurance, and works over £500 need Aisha's written approval except emergencies.

## 5. Review, escalation and outcome

Blueoak keeps copies of subtenancies, safety certificates and rent ledgers and provides them on reasonable request. Personal data is handled lawfully; Aisha's inspection requires reasonable notice. Breach of superior lease, licensing failure or unlawful subletting is a material breach requiring urgent remedy.

## 6. Reservations and practical protections

A break right after 18 months requires three months' notice and does not defeat existing statutory tenant rights. On termination Blueoak must lawfully manage any subtenancy, return keys and settle arrears; neither party may use unlawful eviction or imply that a landlord's consent has been obtained when it has not.

## 7. England and Wales law and completion

England and Wales property law governs. Signed on 30 September 2031, with hand delivery, post and email as separate permitted notice methods. The arrangement is not effective to the extent a superior lease, mortgage or licensing restriction prevents it.
