hello everyone. I’d appreciate some advice.
I have a 2 bed flat that I rent and the tenants have been there for a year. the tenancy agreement were on the assumption of 2 adults and 2 children. After a property inspection, I’ve noticed there are considerably more beds then needed. x3 singles in one room and a double and a single in another.
Is there anything I’m liable for and is this something I need to be concerned about?
The property is otherwise clean and tidy but does have more wear/tear than I was expecting for a year.
Thank you

Well for starters they have lied to you so thats concerning if they have lied about something like this what else have they lied about?
Are they all related or are they sub letting
And (I know this may seem a novel idea) have you spoken to them and asked them why and what was agreed
Have you explained they may be in breech of the TA
Plus (and i dont know the exact numbers am sure someone experienced will) children of certain ages shouldnt be sharing with children of opposite gender
It MAY be that at that time they had some family visiting and had accomodated them (highly unlikely but ya wont know unless you do another inspection or speak to them)
Just send them an e mail or whatever means you use to communicate with them (im guessing you do) saying along the lines of (and again im not experienced or a ll)
“I noticed on the last inspection facilities for more than the permitted number of occupants as per TA please could you confim who these other people are and that they are no longer residing there failure to confirm this will be treated as breech of TA and the appropriate action can be taken” see what reply you get and take it from there I would SERIOUSLY consider starting eviction though as the trust element has completely gone
