Think of it this way:

Thanks for the positive response @silvercar! In theory, that could work! One of the issues we're having at present is organising finances, and constantly having to transfer money from one person to another, so that side of things would still be prohibited. Still certainly a consideration
No, this won't work either. Again, to rent out a room one has to demonstrate exceptional circumstances - for example, unable to pay the mortgage due to loss of job. When it is agreed it is only ever for a short period.
