Live in landlord advice required

[Tarmacsurfer]

Afternoon all. To cut a long story short, on top of the recent shitstorm of bad luck I've been informed my last regular part time "from home" income is terminated. At other points in life not a problem, I've done NFA before and don't mind getting my hands dirty. Problem is these days I have a fairly bad spinal condition (suffice to say the improvements took a turn for the worse around 6 months back) and "normal" work is not really possible. Some days I'll be relatively normal (ie can walk with crutch/es) and others I'll be immobile and in so much pain even breathing hurts.

Anyway, enough whining.

I have a spare double room in the house, and possibly a single as well which I'm serious about letting. What if any certification or paperwork is needed with a live in landlord? Cheers for any pointers

This should get you started :-

I had a lodger some years back, but he was a friend I had previously worked with, so there wasn't any contract. Fine for cash in hand, if it's someone you trust.

A lot of places I have rented (and I have lived-in with a few landlords/ladies), there has been no certification, just a written agreement of the rules of the house/flat, a deposit and thats it.

Advertise in the local paper, shops, word-of-mouth and that's it...

Cheers folks.

That sounds far too simple for life in the modern UK there Clanger, are you sure there are no government guidelines as approved by Herr Brown?

Having done some more research it looks like things are well in hand. So, off to advertise and spread the word
