Lodgers in your house

I speak from personal experience as a landlord on the ups and downs of renting out rooms in your home, I am mainly writing this as information for anyone considering sharing their house with others. I will not be covering other types of renting in this article, only renting rooms in a house that you also occupy, I will add more on other types of rental agreements inm other posts later on. I am not an expert on all things rented and so will not be covering all aspects of the law etc. related to rented accomodation but i will be giving you some warnings as a potential landlord as to what you can do toprotect yorself and your property.
