Lodger query, confusion

Posts: 36 Forumite
I want to let out two rooms to lodgers. I know that I am allowed up to two lodgers.
If one of the rooms is let out to a couple, does that count as one lodger or two?
Apologies if that is a stupid question.

Would I be able to let the second room to a single person, or would I have exceeded my limit, even if the couple only pay one lot of rent?0

What makes you think there is a limit?"You've been reading SOS when it's just your clock reading 5:05 "0

I know that if I have more than 2 lodgers my house becomes an HMO - which I think entails a £600 licence round my way0

3 tenants 2 households. ring council if you are concerned.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. 0 -
http://www.landlordzone.co.uk/lodgers_rent-a-room.htm says 2 lodgers is fine but 3 or more then it's an HMO with more regs0

I know. So a couple in one of the rooms counts as two lodgers?0
-
I would post your question on landlordzone forum - more expertise there.
Or as suggested, call the council and ask!0 -
co-habiting seems to counted as one household on all the references I looked at.
Here is one example

Also how does the requirement that it must be the households main residence?

Could you have more Mon-Fri lodgers that have other homes?
Looks like own home with 2 lodgers might be a specific excemption so housholds don't come into it.0
