520 _aCA 17 March 1988 The landlord Antoniades (A) let a flat to an unmarried couple (V) and (B) under separate but identical licence agreements. The agreement signed by V stated that the licensor "is not willing to grant the licensee exclusive possession of any part of the rooms" and included an addendum that V "hereby agrees that the licence...does not come within the Rent Acts and the flat is for single people sharing....No person will have exclusive possession of above flat as agreed". A later gave notice to quit and on V and B`s refusal to leave, sought an order for possession in the cc. The court held that V and B were tenants and entitled to the protection of the Rent Acts. On appeal, CA held that if a letting agreement purporting to be a licence is to be regarded as a sham and in reality a tenancy protected by the Rent Acts, it must be shown not only that the occupants intended that they should enjoy a right to exclusive possession, but also that the landlord shared that intention
