Tennant's Rights and Responsibilities

    Just wondering what people would make of this situation........
    Hypothetically say you had agreed to share a rented house with someone. The owner of the house is this person's friend so they wanted them to sign the lease alone (in this situation you've never so much as SEEN the lease). So you just transfer rent money and whatever they tell you you owe for bills as they come into their account without ever dealing with the actual landlord, though you have paid a deposit. What rights do you have? And what responsibilities? Technically, say living with them is awful, can you just move out at the drop of the hat?

    Also, what are you liable for if you do that? Bills? Anything?

    I'd say, hypothetically, you're one is there under a license only and therefore can move out with minimal, if any, notice. Sans a written receipt for rent/deposit good luck with getting that back.

    Personally if I knew I owed for bills, and they had my deposit, and I'd not done any damage to the place, I'd just quietly pack up and go and do it properly at the next place.

    PS Hypothetical advice for a hypothetical person in a hypothetical situation for hypothetical academic hypotheticalness because, hypothetically, metaphysically and absolutely, I am not qualified to offer legal advise. Threshold on the other hand are.

    Hypothetically, a person would probably just ride it out, but I'm just curious if it seems like an unusual situation....

    Is what unusual? Rental market in relation to both leases and licenses is a complete bloody mess here, anything can and does happen.
