Hi,
I'm on JSA for a number of weeks now. I am recieving help from the HSE to pay my mortgage interest too.
I am considering allowing a friend to rent a room from me. She is stuck looking for a place she can afford and ive a spare room.
However I am unsure if this will affect my SW payments. I get full JSA as my sole income. Does anyone know how much rent I can charge without reducing my payment?
Also, Can the tenant claim rent allowance as i am not offically a landlord? We are both very unsure of how to do this.
Any advice would be most helpful please. Thanks.
