As the person is a licensee, not a tenant, the Tenancies Board thankfully have no input here.
it is self-contained.
Didn't see that. Important point. Well spotted.it is self-contained.
That's the first thing to clear up.
No, it could still meet the tax criteria for relief, but be caught up in tenancy legislation, unless your friend opted out prior to tenancy start.RedOnion do you mean that because is it more than just one room this would make her ineligible for the rent-a-room relief!
You're incorrect. It is not relevant that it has a separate kitchen or sitting room. What is relevent is if it is part of the property. I have a converted garage to one of my properties. If I lived in the house it would be eligible for rent a room scheme.Hang on, this is no more rent a room than the man in the moon..
On suite, yes, What rent a room comes with kitchen facilities and sitting rooms, pure skirting the realism of letting a self contained apt.
Change the locks?? Crazy, and as for the solicitor advising this in no more than a rent a room, crazy advise again!!
As far as I know her solicitor advised her initially when renting to opt out of this. Not 100% sure about that but I do know she availed of the rent-a-room allowance.
she is reluctant to see a mother and daughter on the street!
There are many houses that have granny flats, complete with separate entrances, kitchens and sitting rooms.
