Rent a Room Scheme

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to paragraph 3.22 of the Spring Budget 2017, what his proposals are on the redesign of rent-a-room relief; and when he plans to consult of those proposals.

Answer

Rent-a-room relief was first introduced to increase the quantity and variety of low-cost rented housing, giving more choice to tenants and making it easier for people to move jobs.

The consultation, which will be published in due course, will explore the most effective changes to better align the relief with its original purpose.
