I am new to tenancy and went to see a large share house. In the moment I agreed to rent a room , I didn’t sign any documents. I won’t be moving for 2 more weeks so the landlord said I could pay one weeks rent to secure my room. I gave this in cash.
Today, I decided this house will not work for me and I informed the landlord. He told me he will give me the money back If I find someone else to rent the room. Is this allowed?
Thanks for asking.
