For the accommodation, you ONLY need your tenancy agreement, as long as both names are on it.If only one name is on the tenancy, then you also need a letter from the landlord giving permission for the other person to live there.
That's it. Nothing else is required from the landlord.
So, you can take out ALL of the following:
- Letter from landlord detailing rent, bills are included, and that even though there are only a few months left on agreement, he is happy for us to stay, and that we have already lived here for almost a year. -
ONLY REQUIRED IF YOU DON'T HAVE BOTH NAMES ON TENANCY- A British Gas bill with his name to show he pays the bills -
NOT REQUIRED AT ALL - Copy of his passport to verify his identity -
NOT REQUIRED AT ALL- Land registry to prove he owns the flat -
NOT REQUIRED AT ALL- Tear sheet from rightmove from 2007 when he bought the flat that gives all the details -
NOT REQUIRED AT ALL- Housing inventory report from third party that shows the sizes of all the rooms, confirms that what rooms there are, and confirms only three people live in the flat, although per the guidelines is a max of 5 can live here without it being overcrowding. It also includes photos of the flat. -
NOT REQUIRED AT ALLMy employment proof; although it is missing one month of statements, which isn't too bad because my husbands employment is enough for both; and we have all the documents for him
If your husband's income is enough DO NOT mention your employment and DO NOT include any documents for your income... because if you include your income too and even ONE bank statement is missing, your visa can be refused

- you could include a picture of you together, though I don't think it's strictly required, since you are applying in person
