Sleep with your Landlord for cheaper Rent!  Would you do the same?

as long as you don't mind being labeled a prostitute.. no different than that.  Some people have to work 2 or 3 jobs to afford to live day to day and they aren't "selling" their bodies to do it.  Its all about morals.

I'd maybe set some ground rules. She is right in saying that she is paying rent however I guess she should respect that she is living in your property. Certainly in the UK, tenants do not really have all that many rights if they are living with the landlord in the same property.\n\nThe bottom line is that it is your property and it should be your rules, sounds a bit harsh but your tenant should accept that.

First check your lease, if it states that the Landlord can raise the rent at anytime, then unfortunately yes, but they always have to notify you, and give you time to move if you do not wish to pay, but if they just fixed or upgraded something and trying to raise the rent in the middle of your lease, they are supposed to wait until your lease is up, but check your agreement.

We own our house. It's just a small one (2 bedrooms) but we had an awful experience with renting. Our landlord was over every day without telling us, he used our utilities, he was really creepy and would stand outside the window and stare in at me and he would never fix anything plus the house was practically falling down and infested with mice but because it looked nice from the outside we were paying a fortune. After that we decided that we'd have a little home built on my Mum and Step-Dad's property (they have a huge propery & we're WAY down the back) while we save up for our dream home.

No that is why they made you sign a lease so that you would pay what you were owed.\n\nYou should have tried to sublet it to someone who would pay the rent (or most of it) so that the landlord did not lose money and sue you for it.

Oh you are opening up pandora's box!  Do  you really want tenants working on your property?  You are opening yourself up to a lot of liability issues there.  Definetly speak with a lawyer, but as a property manager I would say not a good idea!  If I let the tenants make decisions about repairs/maintenance/upkeep around here there would be mayhem!  I can't tell you how many people knock on my door daily....to ask to borrow a plunger! ugh!  Seriously though, think about your investment, you want to protect it right?  People tend to care for their own property much better than those who are merely renting!

No, just as we landlords can't raise your rent in the middle of the lease if you got a promotion or bonus check. Just talk to the landlord and see what the two of you can work out.\n\nRegards

Seeing how you and your girlfriend spend the nights together at her place all of the time maybe its time that the two of you get a place together! Leaving the friend roomate to fend for herself!

Strange how costly it can be to not want to live by a few little rules, isn't it.\n\nHeck, you want to move out and you can't even prepare a budget for your self.\n\nWhat do you want a roommate for? To get sick of rules again, or to mother him by making rules for him?\n\nBTW! $1000.00/month is sufficient if you wish to reside in a poor house.

I wouldn't pay anything. There are tons of free apartment locator services out there where the apartments are the one that pay for the service.

No, I would contact my landlord and discuss it with them.

Sadly the two of you are together in the lease, so it is very important when sharing a rental that you rent with someone you know very well and can trust ( also someone you would be willing to pay thier share if they don't or if they move out on you)\n\nYou can ask the court for a new date but you have no way to get out of the court date without merely paying the landlord the money owed or working out a payment plan

I'd just give him the rent if you feel he's ripping you off.  How are you going to know that your electric bill is 20.00 or 200.00?

Ask now. Why wait? Get your name in first. I did the same thing in my old building (went from a studio to a one bedroom). The circumstances were slightly different, but it was no big deal. Call them today and set it up. If you've been a good tenant, there should be no problem and they'll be glad to rent it to someone already there.
