Thinking of renting a house to students /graduates. Any recomendations on best form of contract joint or individual short hold tenacy. It will be a 4 bed property so no need for a HMO but are there any other H&S requirements?

Insist on a MASSIVE bond

Everyone I know has a joint – because then if one is a non-payer, the landlord chases the rest.

sorry, I might be being a bit dumb (it is the morning..), but are you sure you don't need an HMO? I know people who live in four-bed properties and they have one… I might be mistaken though?

'an entire house or flat which is let to three or more tenants who form two or more households and who share a kitchen, bathroom or toilet' – would that not be your house?

would probably suggest joint tenancy. seems a lot of hassle for my landlord to find individuals to move in when each person leaves (our leases all run out at different times).
