Successful applicants will be asked to enter into a tenancy agreement.
It is the role of the person with parental responsibility to make sure that the student understands the terms of the tenancy agreement and is willing to comply.
Parental responsibility Student Roost does not accept parental responsibility or act in loco parentis.
The Children Act 1989 outlines who has parental responsibility, as follows:
(a) A mother always has parental responsibility for her child.
(b) A father only has parental responsibility if he is married to the mother when the child is born or has acquired legal responsibility for his child by:
(i) Jointly registering the birth of the child with the mother
(ii) A parental responsibility agreement with the mother
(iii) A parental responsibility order, made by a court
(c) The child's legally appointed guardian who has been appointed either by a court or by a parent with parental responsibility in the event of their own death. (This is different from a professional guardian, who does not automatically have parental responsibility, but has the responsibilities set out in the guardianship contract.)
(d) A person in whose favour a court has made a residence order concerning the child.
(e) A local authority designated in a care order in respect of the child (but not where the child is being looked after under Section 20 of the Children Act, also known as being 'accommodated' or in 'voluntary care').
(f) A local authority or other authorized person who holds an emergency protection order in respect of the child.
