KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Owner-Occupier
An owner-occupier is a person who owns and lives in a dwelling.
The term may also include someone who previously lived in the property before letting it under an *assured tenancy or *regulated tenancy.
For statutory purposes, a tenant under a *long tenancy may also qualify as an owner-occupier.
Owner-occupiers differ from landlords who own property purely for investment or rental purposes.
Various housing and tenancy laws apply differently depending on whether a person qualifies as an owner-occupier.
