PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Longhurst HA and Metropolitan HO do not allow sub letting.Gone ... or have I?0

very unlikely they will allow sub-letting, but the only way is to call and ask! If they do say you can, make sure you get it in writing!0

Somebody did post on here a while back that they had discussed the same situation with their HA and been allowed to let the property for a limited period (I think the person was working abroad for a year).
So it may be possible. What will almost certainly NOT be possible is letting the place indefinitely, not unless you own the place outright. SO schemes are set up to provide homes for owner-occupiers who would not otherwise be able to afford to buy/live in the area. Allowing subletting would defeat the object of this.
I'm with Southern Housing Group and subletting is not permitted.

Mine permits it, with consent from the top person.
But, there have to be certain conditions, main one being going abroad for a year and not wanting to lose your home.
I'm also allowed lodgers or whoever I like. My HA are very 'it's your house' orientated.0
