You may be able to have a lodger if you own your home or you have a Secure or an Assured Tenancy.
A lodger is someone who pays to live in your home with you. They share certain parts of your home but have their own bedroom.
You can have a lodger if you have Secure or an Assured tenancy and your home doesn't become overcrowded.
You need to:
Call us on 0800 432 0077 or email customer.services@a2dominion.co.uk
Tell us the name, gender and age of any lodgers
Tell us which bedroom they'll have
Carry out a right to rent check
Tell the Housing Benefit office you have a lodger if you receive Housing Benefit
Tell the Department for Work and Pensions if you receive Universal Credit
You're responsible for making sure your lodger keeps to the terms of your tenancy agreement. If you ask them to leave and they don't, you'll need to go to court to evict them.
