OT: Letting out a flat off the books

[Feedback]

Doh! He's not renting out a room but the entire property.

You're not listening. He can't rent out the property due to restrictions. He can take in a lodger though (which is what rent a room relief is for).

No agreements needed, no tax issues arising.

Clever Contract the agreement as a lodger (with full access to the property) avoids all taxes and rules

The "landlord" has to be resident for rent a room to apply:

And we have already established that tax is not an issue.
