<prompt> Human: Hey!Long time lurker first time poster. So Im in a bit of a quandary. My girlfriend and I both want to live together. I earn a good salary, shes currently at university and only has a part time job. I am able to pay the rent and all bills on my own. Im not comfortable with doing this so her dad has offered to give us some money towards the rent every month. My girlfriend and her dad currently live together and he sees me as an opportunity to save himself money as hell be able to downsize and effectively off load his responsibility of his daughter onto me.The situation is that he will give us money every month towards the rent. The problem I dont trust him at all to give us the money and then Ill be stuck and financially worse off. What Im proposing to do is to flip this around so hell pay for the rent on the house and I will give him the money each month and my girlfriend and I will live in it. I will still pay the lions share of the rent but I will give the money to him and he will pass it onto the landlord. Since Im not in a massive hurry to move out and he is to save himself money I feel like I have some power over what happens and want to use this as much as I can. Whats the best way to approach this?I feel like her dad is the sort of person that would use you to get what he wants and I want to flip this on its head a little and put the emphasis on him rather than on me. As I said Im not in a rush to move whereas he is so I feel like I have the high ground. If anything goes wrong in our relationship I dont want my name to be on any paperwork such as the tenancy agreement and I dont want to be lumbered with the house. I dont think that makes me a bad person just sensible... I like to think...  <response>: Dont do this. Dont play games.Just dont move in together. You will regret it.
