Landlord & Tenant Act

[Oh Dear]

Do you get security of tenure with a licence?

[Didwot]

No, not if it really is a licence. The answer to whether it is a licence or lease does not depend on the title that the parties give to the agreement. An arrangement whereby someone is let into exclusive occupation of a property in return for payment of rent is nearly always a lease.

[Peter Pedant]

except student accommodation - at least mine was a licence....
