Living With Same Sex Partner

Living with same sex partner

  • Living with a same sex partner is no different to straight people living with the opposite sex where the maintenance, living conditions and cleanliness of your dwelling is concerned.

  • Your landlord will not discriminate against you but will not appreciate it if you do not pay your rent on time.

  • A good tenant is the one that pays their rent, respects the property, maintains the property, and shows him and the neighbours respect.

  • Your landlord will not be more lenient with female partners than male partners if you do not pay your rent. The same rule applies to everybody regardless. You may find yourself in court to repay missing rent.

  • You should be able to decide what responsibility each of you takes in maintaining your living area.

  • You have the right to invite people into your home, but make sure that you respect the living conditions laid down in your tenancy agreement.
