Hi all,

My boyfriend is just filling in the SOA forms, its taking ages and we are remembering to save regularly!

A quick question: He currently lives at home with his parents and all the the statements etc all have that address
so he is going BR from that address. He is moving in with me monday 29june and so all his living expenses we have worked out are for his new address with me. As i dont want to be involved anywhere in this BR we are saying he is renting a room off me. Now, its asks if hes renting so do we put yes since im renting the flat and everything is in my name but as far as they are concerned he is renting a room off a friend so theres no rent book or lease for him to give the OR as its a verbal agreement. Hope ive not waffled to much but what do we say??

Also are we doing the right thing him going BR at his current address or should we do it from our new address
but then none of his statements etc will have this address.....confused and fed up of the form filling!


Treat other people how you would like to be treated yourself and never forget the manners your parents taught you.

    Hi Trolley Dolly

    I'm watching this thread with interest as I'm in the same position as your boyfriend and would like to know what the OR would accept as proof as payment towards rent, bills etc

    My boyfriend has just signed up to rent a house in his name with a view to me moving in a month later. My worry is that the OR will inform his landlord of my bankruptcy even though the rental agreement is in his name.

    Also he dosen't think he could give a rent book as he would in effect be seen as subletting??
