Legality of renting mobile home in grandparents garden

BitterAndTwisted

Of course, at the moment everything could just be a casual enquiry because the young couple aren't actually living in the mobile home at present but are just seeking clarification should they decide to do so, aren't they?

Eh, grandparents could justifiably reason that according to their understanding the couple are lodgers. And have only been in this mobile home since last weekend, in any case.

I'd agree that a case can be made for saying the occupants prefer to cook and wash in the main house and so do share the basic facilties which is a key determinant for lodger status,

but, as the mobile home could easily end up with its own CT status then their lodger status could just as equally be suspect, you can't be a lodger if you occupy a separate premises, even if you do continue to use someone else's bathroom

Oh, I'd probably take exactly that line if I worked for 'tCouncil and found said mobile home being rented to half a dozen Lithuanians. Perhaps not the same one if it was a young couple living on sixpence ha'penny and paying grandad and grandma less than it actually cost for them to be there.
