Can a landlord charge you more rent if someone else moves into the house?

Question

Accepted Answer

Some tenancy agreements state the maximum number of people that can live in the house.  You can’t have more people than this stay in the house, unless you and your landlord create a new tenancy agreement. They might ask you to pay more rent in exchange for increasing the maximum number of occupants.
If your tenancy agreement doesn’t say how many people can live there, then you can have as many people as you like, except that the house can’t be overcrowded.
The landlord can increase the rent if they follow the rules about rent increases...
