If you have been hit by under-occupancy deduction, but you still feel that you’d like to stay in your home, it’s understandable that you’d be wondering how to make up the loss in money.
If you have already been through our Save Money section, you may have some ideas already, but have you considered taking in a lodger?
Whether it’s temporary while you wait to grow your family, or whether it’s a way of you meeting someone new but still enjoying the comfort of your home, it is an option.
Our tenancy agreements do allow for a lodger, but you need to ensure that you don’t sublet your whole property and that you declare any income generated by a lodger to the housing benefits department, as it could affect your benefit income.
