<p>No crap, Sherlock. How many 21 year olds do you know who are married? This guy is mid forties, so he’s almost twenty years older than the oldest age in that range. It doesn’t matter, though, because you’re missing the point entirely. No one’s judging him by his marital status. The point is, the man is single, and since he’s alive, has desires. Turtle, I’m betting you’re not a guy. I don’t care if he’s Mr. Rogers; A single, mid-forty year old man is going to fantasize about the non-relative teenage girl in his house. Whether he acts on his fantasies is the entire question, and there’d be almost literally nothing stopping him. One in five women are raped, which is pretty high, and it sucks. It might go down if so many women weren’t way too naive and trusting.</p>
<p>All of the “maybe’s” in your post are good reasons not to prosecute him, but terrible reasons to go ahead and move in alone with an unknown dude more than twice your age. He could, he could, he could, but he could also. How do you think there’s still an open space that’s in the perfect location, in the perfect house, and a third the rent, but happy-go-lucky OP just so happens to be able to potentially scoop it up? Yeah, it could just be blah blah blah, but use your savvy. Either OP is really lucky, the guy turned down a bunch of college guys, or enough people thought twice about this to think it was too good to be true. You don’t eat a mushroom that has a chance of being deadly just because you don’t like berries. This is Darwinism at work.</p>
