I don't understand what you're talking about - how am I a money grabber?
The father in law is only 50, so even if the whole investment went tits up, it wouldn't affect my partners inheritance at all - so what are you talking about? I don't understand what money I'm trying to 'grab' exactly..
My previous post still stands.
Half the thread is you asking how to stop him the other half is you changing tack

Because this issue is very emotional for me.
There is a bad history in the family with regards to the father in law and especially towards my OH so it really gets under my skin
And I hate know it alls
I agree though, lets move on, no point in fighting..0 -

Father in law is wanting to help sister in law get foot on housing market as they couldn't rent due to her boyfriend not passing credit check..
But there are landlords out there who will work around the failed credit check in exchange for a gaurantor.
Surely its cheaper for everyone if the couple to rent ?
They need to make more effort to find a suitable rental property.0 -
there are some very harsh comments on here today
i think the OP has every right to express concern. two relatives are considering doing something financially which may ruin both of them and he is the only sane one questioning it.
and who will they come running to when they are homeless/need to clear their debts?
its difficult but you will have to just say to him that this is an extremely risky
thing to do and you disagree entirely with it. then tell him you will have nothing more to do with it and certainly wont endorse it.0
