    Do you have a lease?

    Do you rent the whole building, or just a room with access to sitting room/kitchen?

    If you are a tenant and agree to this, your tenancy is effectively ended and you become a licensee who lives with their landlord. You will no longer be protected by tenancy law and could be asked to leave at any time. If you're already a licensee, it will have no impact on your rights. Best to dig out any lease agreement you have and confirm what it says.

    Says who?

    The RTA specifies under what conditions a leased tenancy or part 4 tenancy may end. Having the landlord move in is not one of those conditions and would be an illegal amendment to the agreement if they were suddenly forced into a licensee situation.

    Unless the op has a term lease rather than part 4, the LL can end the tenancy anyway , giving the required notice if she wants to move back in.

    You can't be a tenant and live with your landlord, agreeing to this situation is agreement to changing your tenancy to a licence.

    Has a room become available in the house through someone leaving or does the landlord expect one of you to give up a bedroom and sleep on the couch?
