I have a great long-term tenant who, along with her husband and daughter has been with me for nearly 5 years. Unfortunately the husband has done the dirty and left leaving her with nothing but debts. Her finances are in a mess and she has said she may need to move in with family whilst she sorts herself out. I am considering allowig her to live there rent free for 2 or 3 months to help out. I'd be happy to take the loss as I think she'll stay for years if she can just get back on her feet.
Are there any issues with doing this? She'll be applying for (but isn't yet in receipt of) housing benefit. Are ther eany complications regards not getting market rent when declaring my tax return? I'm seeing this just like the void I would have if she moved out but am aware things are always as simple as they ought to be.
Any advice greatfully received.
