| Comment | Sounds like you'll be going in as a 'lodger'. If so, technically and legally there's nothing dodgy going on. You don't *need* to be a tenant. There's pros and cons to being a lodger instead of a tenant.
I'm currently a lodger. My mrs is the tenant of our flat. The tenancy is in her name. I'm just listed with the agency as a lodger.
Sounds like a similar enough thing happening here. The existing tenant will be the tenant. You moving in would be his lodger. |
