Relatives are able to rent off relatives and claim housing benefits.So she’s losing out on presumably over £1000 a month rental income …see she’s not a greedy bitch.
If her sister did rent it off her she wouldn’t be able to claim benefits to pay the rent to a family member….. (but thats none of my business!)
She must have a ton of cash to be so generous to be able to do such a kond hearted thing.
The fact she has said living rent-free is to possibly give her room to throw them out if need be.
Quicker than if they were bona fide paying tenants.
Renting it out if she has a mortgage can be a sticking point also.
She's maybe also doing this for tax purposes as it's a 2nd property.
Her accountant would have advised her though. Maybe someone with more knowledge can correct me.
On topic. She doesn't do things out of the kindness of her heart.
She's a conwoman.
