Assignment Brief:
Rita, a wealthy film star, owns a large detached house which is divided into two self-contained flats. Title to which is registered in her sole name. Rita has been asked to star in a new Hollywood film and in preparation for her move to America, she has advertised for a tenant for the upper flat. In answer to the advert, a man called Norris said that he would like to rent the flat and he has entered negotiations with Rita. Unfortunately, they could not agree on the exact terms of the lease. However, as Norris had been thrown out of his lodgings by his landlady Emily, Rita agreed to let Norris live in the upper flat while their solicitors negotiated an acceptable lease.
Meanwhile, Rita has also found a suitable occupant for the ground floor flat. A young hairdresser called Maria had wanted to sign a lease for the ground floor flat but because she has financial difficulties, and could not afford to pay a month’s rent in advance, she could not sign the lease that Rita offered. No lease has been signed but Rita has let Maria stay in the flat. Maria has been paying Rita £120 a week.
Furthermore, Rita has a next-door neighbour called Bill who is a builder. Bill asked Rita if he could use her driveway to park his builder’s van and his pick-up truck. Rita said that this would be fine so long as Bill repaired the driveway, which was crumbling in places and has a large pot-hole in it. Bill paid for a friend of his to come and re-surface the entire driveway and has been parking both of his vehicles there ever since.
While Rita was having her hair dyed in the salon where Maria works, Maria overheard Rita talking to her boss Audrey and discussing selling the house to Audrey. Maria has informed both Bill and Norris and all three are now worried about protecting their rights. They know that the house is registered land but are unsure about their rights.
Advise Norris, Maria and Bill about what rights they may have and how to protect them should Rita sell the house to Audrey.
