As host thank you payments reduce, and in some cases stop all together, you may wish to consider keeping your guest in your home under a lodging agreement. This is where you rent a room in your home to someone under a license agreement.

You can receive up to £7,500 per year (£625 per month) tax free.

We have created a template agreement you can use if you would like to set up a lodging agreement.

If you are interested in creating a lodging agreement, then please contact our team: 

• Email: HFULiaison@scambs.gov.uk
• Phone: 01954 713411

Please note that a lodging agreement is a private agreement between the landlord and the tenant, South Cambridgeshire District Council are not an involved party in these arrangements.
