Would a LL/LA accept this?

Hi,
I'm currently looking to move from one rental property to another.
I live with my DD whos 21.
She's recently said she may be looking to move out within the next year.:eek:
I don't want to move to a 2 bed place, then find i can't afford it alone, and have to move again.
Would a LL/LA accept us both moving inot a one bed place, then treating it like a house share/bedsit. With one of us in the living room and the other getting a bedroom?
Can anyone foresee any problems?

The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter

If you apply as joint tenants, some LLs will be happy, some might not.
If you apply as a single tenant, your (daughter?) could visit/stay, but making it her home would breach the tenancy and might well p*ss off the LL.0 -
Your DD wants to move out and you want to stay living with her?0

If there is a gas fire in the living room you may have problems, as i don't think you're allowed to sleep in the same room as one.0

I'm confused!
Doesn't your DD moving out mean she wants her own space?
Why would you need a 2 bed place for yourself yet talk about sharing a 1 bed with your DD?
Please feel free to tell me if I've missed something :think:Mum of several with a twisted sense of humour and a laundry obsession

I don't see the problem.
Many couples get one-bed flats, and some couples consist of two women. So there would not be anything strange about the two of you renting a one-bed place. And once you are tenants, it is really no-one's business but yours whether you share a bedroom or one of you kips out in the living room.0 -

From the HSE:
Since 31 Oct 1998, any room converted to use as sleeping accommodation should not contain the following types of gas appliances:- A gas fire, gas space heater or a gas water heater (including a gas boiler) over 14 kilowatts gross input unless it is room sealed.
- A gas fire, gas space heater, or a gas water heater (including a gas boiler) of 14 kilowatts gross input or less or any instantaneous water heater unless it is room sealed or has an atmosphere-sensing device

Why not just tell DD that *now* is the most appropriate time for her to find her own place?0

I love it when there are hidden regs that you can't apply without specialist knowledgeFrom the HSE:
