THE RIGHT TO TAKE IN A LODGER
Before you take in a lodger, you must get permission in writing from Eildon Housing Association.
You must provide details of the name, age and gender of the lodger, and the amount of rent you propose to charge.
You cannot take in a lodger if this will result in overcrowding. Your Tenancy Agreement states the maximum number of people who can live in your home.
THE RIGHT TO SUBLET YOUR HOME
You must have written permission from Eildon Housing Association to sublet all or part of your home. You must provide details of the name, age and gender of the lodger, and the amount of rent you propose to charge.
Your request will not be refused unless there is good reason, ie if the sublet would result in overcrowding.
If permission is granted, you can initially sublet the property for a maximum of six months. This can be extended at the discretion of Eildon Housing Association.
Tenants with arrears or outstanding housing-related charges may not be eligible to sublet their home. Please contact your housing officer for more information about subletting.
