Why are you advertising and paying this rather than your landlord? If you have personally rented the whole property on the understanding that you can get in other housemates, then you would absolutely be their landlord, although they would have licences not tenancies if it’s a full house-share. You would have some legal responsibilities as their landlord such as giving them a copy of any current gas certificate, so if I suggest you learn these quickly. You would also need to show Rightmove written consent from you landlord to take in lodgers. ---

That’s a fair point @David122, to be honest. If the landlord’s written consent is needed, best to get that sorted before going any further with the advert. I’d also contact Rightmove and explain that the landlord is away until Monday, just to make sure the £70 and application stay valid until then.
