I wonder what would cover me if I was to take in a lodger, it would be a situation where I rented the house, furnished it and paid all the bills etc, (all contracts were in my name) but allowed a freind to live in a room in the house or separate apartment on the property.
If I was to do this I'd have to have confidence that for whatever reason I could ask them to leave and they must do so and with no claim to any of my furnishings etc.
And if they refused I could have them removed by whatever means, police or what ever is the usual method of evicting unwanted guests.
This is all just a thought that has been put to me, but I understand friendships break and wouldn't want in any way to be obligated to allow them to stay or at worst hand over any right to my furnishings.
