I'm slightly worried about my new place as I always rented rooms in houses occupied by Irish landlords.

If you're not on the lease- at very best the guy is subletting a room to you- under licence- and you do not have the same safeguards a tenant would have, as a licensee.

Its far from unusual though.

Personally- if I was using the train- I wouldn't dream of moving where you're thinking of- it just doesn't add up for me.
