Hi,
I rent out one room in my house and my housemate recently lost his job. I assume he is getting unemployment benefit or such like.
As it's my own house, I would've been renting out under the 'Rent A Room Scheme'. I would have assumed that as I am not a 'Landlord' that he would not have been able to claim rent allowance without my knowledge. I certainly didn't sign any forms or give him my PPS no.
The reason why I'm concerned is that I received a letter in the post from the HSE, asking me to provide my details to them in respect of a claim for Supplementary Rent Allowance by my housemate. Is he allowed do this as it states that my details will be passed onto Revenue as I am a 'Landlord?
I'm confused about all of this so if anyone information on it, I would be very grateful.
