Sharing Situation

    I moved into a shared house about two weeks ago. I noticed one of the other tenants girlfriends was around a lot so I asked what the story was with her. It turns out she moved in a month ago. This wasn't mentioned at all during the viewings and I still wouldn't have been informed only I asked. For my own reasons, I don't want to live with a couple and would never have taken the place had I known. The landlord isn't aware either as far as I know. Do I have any rights as the place was misrepresented to me?

    You have the right to move out, nothing else will be worth the hassle. Unless you go down the road of getting the couple kicked out (can't see that being easy) then you won't be happy there.

    Maybe say that you thought the house was X people, but as it's X+1 amount of people, that the landlord falsely informed you, and see can you break the lease because of this?

    Run! I was lied to by a pair I moved in with being a couple years ago and the woman in particular turned out to be one of the nastiest pieces of work I've ever met. If they're dishonest from the start it's only going to go downhill from here.

    Can I asked if she is taking her fair share of the rent and bills? I understand maybe it should not be divided evenly as they are only taking one room but it is an extra person to share common living room/kitchen with and consumption of electricity/water/heating etc. I would personally feel ripped off if I’m subsidizing his girlfriend.

    Also as someone has said, it’s dishonest from the start. It’s a stealth move and frankly IMHO is disrespectful, arrogant and selfish. I wouldn’t be happy with.
