IPOQ question - this can't be right can it?

They are trying it on. You couldn't live anywhere rent free so its only right you pay your share.
If you were renting a flat (1 bedroom) it would still cost money and it would be 100% of bills and rent so the OR would be worse off?
I don't think a judge would agree with the OR either as rent/mortgage is part of your SOA. If they think you can live for free somewhere ask them to demonstrate where!

Its people like that who make the good OR's look bad

I, and I know others on here, am a lodger.

After having to fo BR due to shortfall on a property, the last thing I wanted to do was get tangled up in any more property issues! Or get my oh involved my debts.

I had it as "rent" on my SOA for OR, half of the bills in the house, and submitted my "lodger agreement" to the OR.

This wasn't queried for me.

Good luck.
