Can a tenant move someone else into the property if that person's name is not on the tenancy agreement?

You need the landlords permission to do this otherwise you have broken your tenancy agreement.

Yes they can, but the person on the tenancy agreement is responsible for the maintaining of the property.
It would be advisable to let the landlord know rather than just doing it, common courtesy.
But you cant claim more money or be asked to pay more money, unless the tenancy agreement states you are not allowed to sub let or move anyone in as per terms of your agreement.
Might be an idea to check with the estate agent who manages the property

It depends whats in the tenancy agreement.
Usually there is a section in the tenancy agreement stating that the only person who is allowed to reside there is the person who's name is on the tenancy agreement.
If the tenant wants to move someone else in, then the landlord usually insists they are put on the tenancy agreement.
If someone moves in who is not on the tenancy agreement, it can cause a number of problems for the landlord, so they are usually very strict on this.

That depends upon the wording of the tenancy agreement. Most that I've seen required that all adult occupants be listed on the agreement. If the agreement is silent on the issue then there would be no problem.

Yes. Unless the tenancy agreement says "No subletting". Subletting is when you are renting a place and you have a friend or lodger in to help with bills. Most UK private landlords/landladies don't allow tenants to sublet.

Discuss it with your landlord. You cannot officially do this, under the terms of your tenancy agreement, but I'm sure he/she would appreciate being consulted.

Talk to your landlord first, to avoid any problems.
Infringments on your tenancy agreement is not likely to endear you to them, so proceed carefully.
Hope that helps.

In theory yes, but there shouldn't be a problem going to your landlord and asking for their name being put on the tanancy. Unless of course you are intending to defraud the government by living in a council property and are claiming council tax housing benefit then thats just not right!!!

Not unless the landlord agrees although someone can come and stay as a guest for a while. We were allowed to have my son and his g/f stay fr three months as guests. It depends on whether they will be paying rent.

Not without permission from the landlord.
