Right to Shared Ownership: buying a share of your rented home
Renting out all or part of your home (subletting)
You’ll usually need to get the landlord’s permission to rent out (sublet) all or part of your home, unless you own a 100% share.
If you need your landlord’s permission
If you rent out a room, for example to a lodger, you must be living there at the same time as the lodger.
Your landlord will usually only give permission to sublet your entire home in exceptional circumstances, for example if you’re a member of the armed forces and are serving away from the area where you live for a fixed period.
Check your lease to find out what the rules are for subletting all or part of it.
