Does it pay to help someone to rent a home together and in return she breaks her promise and betray me?

Question

I live in a place where the housing rule strictly allows 2 persons to rent a flat. One has to be a citizen. Lady T,68 years is citizen and me(Permanent Resident). I knew her for over 10 years. It was she who asked me to rent the flat. T comes from an abusive family, violent, alcohol, drug abuse and 2 suicides. She promised that none of her family members plus her grandson P is staying or know about the flat. I fear for myself and confirmed that before I signed the lease. P is staying with her and his father and has a home. After getting the flat she asked me to move in first. After staying a month T harassed me calling many times a day saying she is sick or her son is selling his flat which he doesn't. She lied thinking I would allow P to stay. She doesn't want to move in without P so she told the agency she never stay and want to opt out. I regret because I know she is from an emotionally unstable family. Her thinking is if she doesn't stay, I have to go. Will someone advise.

Answer 1

If you can afford to keep the rent up for a little while, could you let her opt out and then find new person to share with? If not then I would suggest you gave this up, but make sure you get any deposit back, and look for somewhere else with someone who doesn't have so much baggage. If you lived with this person you would end up regretting it.

Answer 2

Sounds like a circus lady comes to town brings all her butch friends about. Shes unstable for 1 you cant have more than 1 family dwelling. That means If you sign a contract with her and it states 1 family dwelling or to the appointed people are only allowed a female and a male person. You need to talk to a lawyer. It sounds a bit fishy. I think next time dont get involved with people that are unstable Its like letting a BB King kid run a high class company they dont have the education or the senority. Do some research. Good Luck
