Me my partner and 2 friends are trying to move to a different city but are having trouble finding housing there's is very few HMOs due to a law that is In affect in the city. We keep getting turned away because they only want people on a shared contract there example being families. My question is what would stop us from just getting a contract in 1 or 2 of our names and just having the others pay us too pay them? We have all know eachother a long time and have lived together before I would genuinely consider them my family.
