I doubt it as you don't make a joint claim with a tenant. You may have to declare the income from a tenant for certain benefits I don't know but they certainly can't ask you to make a joint claim with a tenant. I think they are sending these letters to anyone who shows up at your address, be they parents or tenants or ex-husbands.0

I also received one recently. I do have a tenant though he is definitely not my boyfriend. Do you think that will affect my single parent claim?
In theory no. You don't make a joint claim with a tenant. In practice it might because they may not believe he is a tenant.
They would be looking for evidence of things like:
* regular payments of rent
* a tenancy agreement
* evidence of how bills are split
