Renting a room in your home

Taking in a lodger can be a great way to earn some additional monthly income. Through the Government's 'Rent a Room' scheme, homeowners could earn up to £7,500 per year tax-free from letting out furnished accommodation in your home.

For more information on this scheme, please see the GOV UK website.
