Do you mean:
1) You want someone to live in a house you own, or
2) You want to rent a house someone else owns?

I'm also in the same position as OP.
Do I get a written contract before I pay the deposit & rent ?

It's not a case of "do you", it's a case of "demand it", as once you sign up for bullsh|t, you never get back. View the contract, and any stupid clauses, question them and/or get them taken out of the contract before you give them money.
