    Hi all!

    Haven't posted to this forum before but need some advice..

    I am just about to move into a house next week, owner occupied, which I was a bit worried about but the place was so nice I decided to break my rule regarding living with the owner and go for it. Anyway its a 3 bedroom house, and another guy is due to move in next week as well. I called to the house last night to pay one month rent and deposit and collect the key. Everything was fine and going smoothly until I was leaving and he said 'oh by the way my girlfriend is moving in as well so the bills will be split 4 ways'. At the time I was too shocked to react and just headed off. But when I got home it hit me. I dont want to live with a couple, esp when one of them owns the house. The place is really great and Id hate to give it up, plus he has my money. I cant understand why he didnt tell me this before I handed over the cheque...

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Have you any experience of living with a couple? Can I get my money back if I decide its not for me etc?

    Thanks

    I don't know what your rights are, but he absolutely should have informed you of this when he showed you round the house. I would definetly mention it to him.

    Has he cashed the cheque yet? Go have a word with him explaining the situation saying that you dont want to live with a couple and you were never informed about it so you've changed your mind.

    If that doesnt work stop the cheque maybe?
