Question
Tenancy partner-BEING CAREFUL?
My landlord phoned me this morning asking me If I kd b his tenancy partner,as he's trying to get a bigger place for himself. I understand Ill have to be playing the part of us being together and stuff. It all seems so wrong only coz I am not his parnter. (Im am pregnant by my boyfriend in real life) and he said that he could tell the council that it's his baby so that he gets the house. How do I say no,I dont want to be involved. To me its a lie and I dont want to get into trouble,icase he puts my name down and they chase me up if or when he doesnt pay-things like that...... How do I be firm in saying no to him? N y didnt he ask sumbdy else? Thank you for the answers so far. Yes,I thought I should go with my heart because I felt uneasy about giving info away like my NI Number and things. . .Didnt know that there were some thieves out there,but who come like they need ur genuine help =(

Don't get involved as this is fraud, but be careful, as he may be turn to be an awkward landlord.

Contact shelter and they will help you bring charges against him because what he's doing is illegal and he has no right to bring you down with him england ...

There is another very good reason for not agreeing to do as he suggests; it will be a joint tenancy with joint responsibilities. So if he defaults on the payment of rent the council will be able to come after you for the rental payments. You cannot agree to this request; tell your landlord that your boyfriend has said no and tell him you are concerned that the council will inevitably find out. Good luck, especially with the baby.

I don't thin you need telling......NO WAY......you have already made up your mind, but just need some back up. This guy sounds like a sleaze ball. Makes me wonder if the property your in is really his and not the local councils ! Sorry Hun don't want to worry you, but dint do anything for him, if he really pressures you, then ring the police. You could always contact the Fraud Line, and tell them he is single but trying to get others to be his partner, they will not ask your name, but will keep it on his record and if he turns up with a "partner" they will question him deeply.

Say no and stick to your guns. I have an uneasy feeling about this and I reckon you could end up with a serious debt problem through it. You have to look after number 1 - that's you! Go with your instinct and be firm. He sounds dodgy. And your landlord is renting his place to you, but is taking a "tenancy" himself??? Strange.
