Our tenants can offer a room in their home to lodgers.
Tenants are eligible to take in a lodger if:
-
they get permission in writing from us
-
a lodger would not cause over-crowding
-
they are not sub-letting the whole property
Taking in a lodger can help tenants who:
- are paying the spare room subsidy, (bedroom tax), and do not want to move out
- want to downsize but have not found a suitable home
- live alone and would like some company
- want the added security of having someone else at home
- have a spare room as grown-up children have left home or are away in full-time education
If you’re interested in taking in a lodger please get in touch.
Email us at tenancy.specialist@salixhomes.co.uk or call us on 0800 218 2000.
Finding a lodger
There are many ways to find a lodger. You may even know someone already who wants to lodge with you.
