7489 Joining a lease
Afternoon gents,

I viewed a room last week in a 2 bedroom flat. It was nice, and I agreed to take it. The lease signatories are a young couple; they took the place recently, planning to get another tenant in as soon as possible.

Ordinarily this wouldn't be a problem, but googling the letting agency shows a chequered past; XYZ Properties launched, dissolved, then XYZ Lettings was born, then dissolved. In it's latest form it isn't listed -- their website doesn't work, their landline gives a busy tone. That said, I've read the reviews, and the agency is genuine, just shit, and run by a guy on the make.

Preamble over, is it reasonable to suggest to the couple that I pay them directly? They would sublet the room to me, if that's not prohibited, and my name stays off the lease agreement.

I'd say those are too many red flags for me and give the place a miss.

Sounds like a dodgy company, and you have to be pretty fucking dodgy to stand out as such among letting agencies.

Doing it off the books if not a great idea either, unless you have a contingency plan. You won't be protected much, if at all, in that arrangement.

You have no protectiom that way, but it doesn't sound like you'd have any regardless. You may very well find yourself homeless very quickly and overnight.
