He is in the right plus he will stay as a tenant even if he moves out of is own accord,he has to write a letter declaring he want to be removed from the tenancy agreement. |

He is correct. You don't own it, you rent it.
So once you put his name on the lease, you have equal rights.
He doesn't have to leave if he doesn't want to.
PS: When it comes time to renew the lease, the landlord has the option to renew with you and NOT him, which he will probably do b/c you are a longtime tenant. But for now, you are stuck. |

his name is on the tenancy agreement and therefore has as much legal right to reside there as you do
Im afraid the 10years of your sole name tenancy counts for nothing now because a new one was created |

yeah he has equal rights as he is on the tenancy and further to what someone said above the Law does not recognize "common law" partnerships
edit - um no British law does not recognise common law marriages,

As soon as you both signed the tenancy agreement, he has equal rights as you. You could leave. |

You could try going to your local housing authority and claim that he duped you and fraudulently misrepresented himself in order to get onto your tenancy agreement. I think that's the best you've got at the moment.
Speak to a solicitor. |

why on earth did you put his name on the agreement? you will have to go to your landlord for assistance/advice |

Kaz, I don't know about the UK but in the US he is right, however the way out is that you would have to evict him and go through the legal system of having him evicted by serving him notice that he has 30 days to vacate and you can even list in there what things he is liable for and what things he can take or not take and have it sent to court and have him served. If the judicial systems or similar I believe you can have him evicted. |

It depends how long he has signed the agreement for..? If you have signed it for years, and his is only 6 months then when the six months is up he will either have to sign again or get out..!! If you have been there for 10 years, why don't you speak to your landlord explain and he may kick him out or give him his notice..!! |

I think it's unlikely. If you split, the landlord (agency or whatever) will probably force him out and you retain the sole tenancy. Your landlord has discretion, and if you are proven as a good tenant, it'll probably go in your favour. |

After a common law marriage, which I think is four months he has a legal right yes. That doens't mean you don't have the right to counter-claim against him. It seems like he may have planned this all along.
It would be safe to say you have a lot more trust and reputation with the landlord. You could find means to get a restraining order against him and boot him out. Or if he is being difficult you could just take the initiative to change the locks and boot his *** out on the street.
It's a very slim line he is perched on, if he seems like the type to file a law-suit he would have little to go on legally. Most people in that situation wouldn't try to take legal action.
Try talking to your landlord and getting him removed from the lease and give him a week to get a new place to live.
* In the CommonWealth the law does in fact recognize common law marriages, ie Britian, Australia and Canada |
