Does she have a lock on her door, if so I believe she needs a licence, if not she is covered in the same way as any family member having a TV in their bedroom assuming the household holds a TV licence. 

Yes, there's a lock on her door and yes, the owners pay for their TV license.

Well if nothing else this thread made me reflect and realise that I haven't watched live TV since the World Cup and there's nothing on iPlayer that I couldn't do without so I've binned off my TV Licence as of yesterday.
