Mind you, I spoke to a bloke, who said, given have the chance, he'd rather not rent to single women, because "they are very dirty, and you have to deep clean when they leave"

Thanks,
no it didn't say no children. And my maternity leave is super so it won't be a problem for paying.
I just wasn't sure if they needed to know that we'll be moving another person in in July! Although, it's been living rent free in me for a while and didn't ask permission first. Cheeky thing

He/she would be a lodger and as such have fewer rights than a tenant :rotfl:

I'm baffled as to why anybody would even think they need to declare such a thing.

What next? Telling landlords that you have sex and therefore might get pregnant one day?

They can specify no children. These ones haven't but I also didn't tell them there will be a child within the 6 month letting frame.

And?

It isn't a *baby* who runs around screaming, drawing on the wallpaper & playing football on the stairs.

That would be the next stage - the toddler.

Babies are pretty good tenants if fed & cleaned regularly. (Just they keep irregular hours - like a flexi shift worker.)

Or a nurse, like me!

Thanks for the replies. I didn't mean to be completely dense about it, it's just not a situation I've had before.
