    I have a 4 bedroom house and I have a new tenant moving in on Friday, I also live there. I got a call today from a friend who has a friend who is looking for somewhere to live, I know this girl to say hello to. My query is should I run it past the girl who is moving in on Friday before letting the other girl see the room, as far as she is aware she is moving into a house with one other person not two.

    There's no harm in letting her know what you're thinking and see what she says. If it was me who was moving in, and I'd been told there'd only be one other person in the house, I'd like if the landlord would let me know that there'd be a change in the situation.

    Yes, you should tell her because the terms on which she's taking the room have changed. Even if those terms were informal and don't materially effect the terms of the lease, it still seems common courtesy and might head-off future tension.
