It would be very hard to claim this wasn't a contrived tenancy - even though monkey has been renting the house previously, Mum has bought it for monkey - she won't be able to honestly say that she would evict monkey if monkey failed to pay the rent.

Yes, we have no plans to do this, there will be no more rent or that component of UC

I'm on Universal Credit, the house in which I live, which I currently rent, is in the process of being sold to my mum, no mortgage, and she plans to gift it to me. The house costs 35K. The Universal credit agent didn't know how this would affect my claim. Any thoughts?

Any money paid to you for rent would cease once you own it.

No, it is the same house. The cash in the post from last month was still my mum's, but it was unnecessary to impart that information as it was not relevant to the topic

Understandable.

I hope this goes well.
