Top Five Questions relating to Cambridge Building Society consent to lease

  • My friend has rented her property from the same landlady for nearly 18 months. Over the course of the last six months my friend has been getting letters from Cambridge Building Society (she hasn't opened them-it is clear from the envelope). For the first half a dozen she forwarded them to her landlady's address. I was a bit suspicious as none of the landlady's post was supposed to be going there. I decided to go to my friends house and called Cambridge Building Society on her behalf. The gentleman I called at Cambridge Building Society asked all sorts of queries, the landlady's name her current address, information relating to the tenant and then said they would investigate whether she was entitled tolet out the property or if it was an offence in the absence of consent to let. Should my friend be worried?
