Yet many are also unaware of precisely what they are committing to when signing a tenancy agreement with a joint and several clause in it. With students already seeking accommodation for the 2021\/22 academic year, we are keen to warn parents to be cautious.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> <strong>Edmund Fulford, Relationship Manager,&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onlymyshare.com\/fr\/\"><strong>Only My Share<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under a joint and several clause, the tenant is liable for a housemate\u2019s rent if that housemate doesn\u2019t pay. This applies regardless of whether the tenants even know each other. Students looking to live in houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) and any parents who sign up as their guarantors therefore need to be on the lookout as they are also legally liable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only My Share, which is part of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.housinghand.co.uk\/\"><strong>Housing Hand<\/strong><\/a>family, is an insurance-backed guarantee service that prevents individuals from being liable for their housemates\u2019 rent, for a fixed cost of \u00a399 per year for protection of up to \u00a310,000. With the guarantee in place, if a landlord demands rent that another housemate owes, Only My Share steps in and makes the payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many students defaulting on their rent in the past year, Only My Share has come to the rescue time and again \u2013 hence the company\u2019s 350% loss ratio increase. Relationship Manager Edmund Fulford comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u201cIt\u2019s been an expensive year for Only My Share, but the pandemic has also shown the strength and solidity of the brand. There\u2019s a definite sense now that if we can get through everything that the pandemic has thrown at us then we can survive any challenges that the future may hold.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only My Share recently revealed a new partnership with StudentTenant.com, the UK\u2019s largest online student letting agent. The company is also deep into partnership talks with two other companies, with announcements to follow in the coming months. According to Fulford, the last few months have been incredibly busy on all fronts. He concludes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u201cAwareness of the dangers of joint and several clauses is growing, but at a very slow rate. We\u2019re looking to fast-track that knowledge. The level of payouts that we\u2019ve made as a result of the pandemic should demonstrate to students and their parents just how vulnerable their position is if they sign a rental agreement that includes a joint and several clauses.
