Well me and some mates have just rented our first house, and I've just been thumbing through the legal documents we've been given and it says;

The owner won't know...
Just make sure it's safely locked up and put your lights on timers etc so it gives the feel of someone at home

I would say pop back once a month if you can, move stuff around, give it a check over etc...

I've had that clause in all my leases; it's to protect the landlord from any squatters moving in or any problems appearing and getting worse, as they're not being reported.

However, why are you keeping the house, if you're not going to be there for three months? Confused

The students I know sub-let to (trusted!) mates who are staying around through the summer.

Gets you a few quid, helps a mate out and solves the clause issue. Thumbs Up

Don't blame me if the mates trash the place though!!!

Whatever happened to 6 month assured tenancy agreements?

My house contents insurance has the same written in the small print, if it's furnished then perhaps the landlord has some sort of in policy that says the same and he's covering his ass.

On the other hand, my landlord let me stay in the house rent free over the summer, it was worth it to him just to have someone keeping an eye on the place.

Most student digs areas have loads of burglaries during the summer hols, they no most of the houses are empty, so its a bit of a thievery free for all...
