Hi,
Myself and boyf have rented a room in an apartment owned and lived in by the landlord (he has one bedroom, we have one).
He is trying to get us to sign a lease. It looks like the lease is one that you would use if you were renting a whole house to tenants, just that he defines the premises as everything except his bedroom.
Googling tells me that living with a landlord is subject to different rules and we should have a 'Licensee Agreement' instead.

I don't really want to sign this lease as it's saying we're liable for all damage, all bills, etc and basically doesn't seem to be correct. This is the first time I've had to sign one of these and I don't want to get into something that's not suitable.
The landlord says it's the right kind of lease but I don't think so.
Does anyone have any idea or experience?
Thanks!
