    Seriously? no.

    Not always as simple as that. My cousin was in a house share and broadband was in his name. He got a letter from BT (his adsl provider) saying that they were passing his details on to the film companies for downloading illegal movies.

    I have a pretty strict lodger contract which doesn't allow using broadband for illegal content, no holes in walls (I had all walls stripped, plastered and skimmed and my first lodger left the walls in a right state so now I forbid it) & no smoking.

    I've learned from experience too roses. However, the house rules are in a separate document to the lodger 'licence to occupy'. the lodger agreement is for their benefit as well as the landlords. It sets out the amount of rent -whether it includes bills or not - so they know exactly what they are and are not expected to pay for,

    I have in my house rules about not using filesharing sites as I had a lodgerfromhell1 who used all my bandwith downloading from !!!!!! sites!
