The thing is, it’s not a misrepresentation, because in order to do this legally, permission must be sought from the land lord to sublet. yes i have talked to several real estate agents, and they do not like the idea, however, there was an agent i talked to, and she mentioned that she knew people doing the same thing in the area. That was an interesting insight. So i suppose it is possible, and not outside the realm of possibilities, however there are a lot of minor problems to overcome
Actually, i was wondering whether i could make the sub-tenant sign on the same standard lease agreement as i would sign with the actual land lord, in that way, my risk can be somewhat mitigated by being able to claim damages from the sub-tennants, the damages the land lord would be able to claim from me.
I would’ve thought the agents and owners would be fine with the idea, as the owner can still claim damages from me.
actually, i am not leeching off them. i would be proving the service of finding uni students who all want to have share accommodation close to uni.
this service would especially appeal to international students who do not know the area well etc. in the 2 days since i’ve placed the adverts, i’ve received 5 calls from people all interested, and they were all international students. i’m sure the idea would have worked, but there are just problems which crop up.
it’s been unfortunate to turn respondents away. makes me feel bad, so i’ve recommended that they try the uni share accommodation service instead
thanks for the reply mel. i’ve actually got 2 students lined up after placing adverts in uni yesterday, but i’m a bit stuck as to what to do at the moment. i’ve talked to a few real-estate agents, and they don’t seem to like the idea.
sigh
