Life with lodgers

I have promoted the living with lodgers lifestyle to all my friends and I really want to spread the word. There is a distinct lack of information on the internet about the benefits of renting out a spare room to a lodger. If you have a mortgage to pay off or just want to have a little extra money each month after paying your rent then a lodger could be the perfect solution.

Whilst the idea of having a lodger may seem a little scary at first, if you sit down and work out some rules and consider if having another person in your home would really effect you that much then you will probably find that its a great solution for you to make a little money on the side for pretty much nothing. The main problem I see with the little information there is online about taking in lodgers is that people rarely discuss the common rules you should have in place before even considering this.

Through the life of my blog I will tell you what rules you need to outline, any costs you may not have expected (such as insurance changes) and just general guidelines you should try to follow.
