Should I have informed my landlord I'm pregnant?

So me and my partner moved house on the 1st May to have somewhere more suitable for the baby and closer to family. We've got an email today about a rotuine inspection in July. Our baby is due in October and we've already got a lot for their nursery and put it all in the nursery room. But it occurred to us we never disclosed we were expecting. We did get asked about if it is just us two moving in and we said yes assuming it was who would be signing the tenancy agreement. Do you think this is going to be an issue? It'll be obvious in the inspection we're expecting😅

I'm pretty sure in the UK there is no legal requirement to disclose this information, it is also illegal for them to kick you out if they did find out, unless it states in ur contract that you must tell them or that they reserve the right to evict you. But I'm pretty sure they wouldn't. Just read your contract to be sure 😁

I don’t think you have anything to worry about as long as the place is clean/ well kept. Your unborn child is not a pet and you’re within your rights to get pregnant, give birth and raise your children in accommodation you’re paying for. If you are worried about it being a surprise, you could mention that you’re expecting and have made up a nursery but this is totally up to you.

When I had my son 14 years ago, our heating wasn’t working and my partner emailed them about it and said about the new baby coming home and they sent such a snotty letter like ‘you didn’t inform us’ 😂 but that was the estate agents. I think just obviously confirm it when they do the inspection and it should be fine. But deffo tell them before baby is here in case you have any issues like we did and they will be understanding. It absolutely shouldn’t cause any issues with your tenancy though ☺️

I doubt you’d need to. If you are worried, contact Shelter.

I doubt you'll have any issues. However some landlords rent with the intention of only renting to couples etc and don't want children 'damaging property' etc. silly I know but I wouldn't want you caught in a situation where you would need to move again 😞
