Hi Aden,
As Pumpkin said be wary, if you name is not on the tenancy contract, you don't have a leg to stand on. If its not in black and white its not a deal.
Without getting into to greater detail, a similar thing happened on our site. It came to light that father [tenant] was not working the plot but a relative.The original tenant was evicted and his stand in also asked to leave site.
Go gently.
