            Good question....i might be getting a flat soon with a mate. I also wondered does the OR need to know the flat mates income??0

            flat sharing is treated slightly differently from a couple cohabiting, they wouldn't need to know your flatmates income. i would put down 50% of the bills and your rent. try filling this out if you want someone to take a look at it for you
