Bedroom Tax - download SpareRoom's Free guide
Rules for under-occupancy in social housing have recently come into force as part of the ongoing Welfare Reform programme. You may have heard about 'The Bedroom Tax' or 'spare room subsidy' or 'Under-occupancy Rules' and want to know more.
Find out how these changes affect you, particularly if you are reliant on housing benefit to pay your rent, and what you can do to beat the tax and cover the shortfall. If you want to stay in your own home, and be able to earn some extra income, this will be a particularly useful guide for you.

I have been very satisfied with web site. My first lodger stayed longer than 2 years. I got my second lodger within a week of my ad.
I have to say yet again SpareRoom.co.uk is the number one site to find a lodger in the UK. 'Forget the rest SpareRoom is the best!'
Brilliant - one of the best things I've done. Just found my second Mon to Fri lodger.
