    If renting a house and subletting it with landlord agreement, is RTB registration for the subletting required?

    If so, on which reason could I, as a tenant, give notice to the subletter?

    If you are renting for more than 6 months, licensees can't get Part 4 tenancy, they can be added to the tenancy and have full protections as a tenant and the landlord can't refuse.

    You would have to give then the same notice and allowed reasons as you require under tenancy law. As a sublet they have the same rights as you. If you owned the property you can kick them out with no notice,


    (7) A person who is lawfully in occupation of the dwelling concerned as a licensee of the tenant or the multiple tenants, as the case may be, during the subsistence of a Part 4 tenancy may request the landlord of the dwelling to allow him or her to become a tenant of the dwelling.

    (8) The landlord may not unreasonably refuse to accede to such a request; if the request is acceded to—

    (a) an acknowledgement in writing by the landlord that the requester has become a tenant of the landlord suffices for the purpose,

    (b) the requester shall hold the dwelling—

    (i) on the same terms, or as appropriately modified, as those on which the existing tenant or multiple tenants hold the dwelling (other than terms comprising the rights, restrictions and obligations which arise by virtue of a Part 4 tenancy being in existence in respect of the dwelling),

    (ii) upon (if such be the case) subsection (3) being satisfied in respect of the requester, subject to the same rights, restrictions and obligations as those subject to which the multiple tenant whose continuous occupation gave rise to the Part 4 tenancy's existence holds the dwelling.
