Renting Out A Spare Room UK
What is the Rent a Room Scheme? The Rent a Room scheme is a government incentive that allows landlords and live-in landlords to earn £7,500 of tax-free income every year, by letting out a spare room in their property.
How do you prove illegal subletting?
The most common signs to identify subletting scams are:
- If a single person is looking to rent a property much larger than they need based on who is on the tenancy agreement, alarm bells should ring straight away.
- If a tenant is insistent on offering six months’ rent upfront.
