Renting out all or part of your home (subletting)

You can normally rent out (sublet) a room in the home, but you must live there at the same time.

You cannot sublet your entire home unless either:

  • you own a 100% share
  • you have your landlord鈥檚 permission

Your landlord will usually only give permission in exceptional circumstances, for example if you鈥檙e a member of the armed forces and are serving away from the area where you live for a fixed period.

Check the 鈥榢ey information document鈥� for the home to see what the rules are for subletting all or part of it.
