legalities on sharing a tenancy with another WG?
« on: 03 October 2015, 10:51:36 pm »
Does anyone know if it is legal to split the cost of rent on a flat with another trusted WG? i.e to share a tenancy with them?

If the two of you shared the flat as in one WG see clients 3.5 days a week and the other WG the other 3.5 days a week, is this legal?

Thanks x

No it's not legal. It doesn't matter if your working seperation times the law breaking is that your both working from there.

People do though, alot of people.

Once more than one person starts offering sex somewhere, even if that's not at the same time, it's a brothel.

That's illegal to own, run, or allow in premises you control... but not to work in. So often, only one of the two would be acting illegally - the one on the lease.

Whether anyone cares depends on a lot of things, particularly where you are and how much you annoy the neighbours.

Flats that are renting out to a high amount of girls and two at a time are plodding along just fine. Doubt two of you sharing will be a problem.

I plan to start renting my own soon and will rent to another lady or two while not there. The purpose of that is to make it free for me to work from rather than make lots of money. While risky I think risk small.
I'm glad I got all the Cynthia Payne books before the prices rocked to sky high.

I am considering moving back into a rental property I own and I was considering letting the spare room to a WG one day a week.  I won't be working from there as I will still be working from my working flat but that will be my residence for the time being. How does that stand legally?

Don't think you will have a problem but finding a girl to do one day limits you. You would only get locals not touring ladies.

I'm in a position would actually like to share premises with someone else on separate days, but the law stops me. It's a risk I am not prepared to take. I know exactly what a record can do.

As above..

Once more than one person starts offering sex somewhere, even if that's not at the same time, it's a brothel.

In this case, it would be definitely you running it and being the one being covered if the shit did hit the fan.

Again, whether anyone cares depends on a lot of things, particularly where you are and how much you - and anyone else working there - annoy the neighbours.

I already have lady interested. She will have the place for 24 hours. A mutual client introduced us. It will be a, for the foreseeable future arrangement.

Ian when you say 'as above' do you mean you are agreeing with LOTM and its ok?

I honestly don't think you will have a problem as long as she says you didn't know what she was doing. I think main offence is control and gain which nobody on this thread would be doing.

No, the main offence here is managing or assisting in the management of a brothel, which if only one person is working doesn't apply.

What there also is is Section 36 of the SOA 2003: 'Tenant permitting premises to be used for prostitution' which is a summary offence, plus the fact that subletting is likely to be a breach of the lease (which is more likely to cause you problems than the law).

I'm agreeing with myself :)

As someone who wants to do it, LOTM is saying what she would like to be the case.

If you want to think 'what's the worst that could happen?' the answer is 'quite a lot' including jail and the property being treated as the proceeds of crime.

And a record which would be horrendous to deal with in the future.

I own the property. I will be living there but working elsewhere ( my working flat). She will be working when I am working in my flat.
I'm getting confused now.

This sounds difficult to prove if the police did get interested, I'd also be cautious about having your private life things there whilst clients and the other lady are in and out. Why not you just work from your own flat and reduce outgoings that way?
