Check In to Rented Property Q
LA has asked if we want to attend an inventory clerk check-in the day before our Tenancy is due to start. Is it best to walk round with them?

If I'm renting a property (long-term), can I rent out a room to help?
Basically what the title suggests. I've found a nice house in Lancaster, with 3 bedrooms. I personally only need 2, but will I able to rent out the 3rd room? I just see people paying £100p/wk for renting out the room. I'm just unsure if I'm within my rights to do that? Cheers, Cam
