In a tenancy with multiple occupiers, there are changes within the new system; contract-holders can be added or removed from a joint contract, without the need to end the contract for all; the consent of the landlord is required.
From 1st June 2019 landlords in England are limited to the equivalent of 5 weeks' rent for new and renewed tenancies (or 6 weeks if the annual rent is £50,000 or more).
