If a host and two licensees occupy a house and the host pays all expenses can the host deduct one third of all expenses as his own expenses to keep under 14k.[Confused]

I would say many older people would be very wary of having someone (a stranger) living in their home.

Absolutely yes. And having spent many years either sharing a rental or living in the very smallest rental I could afford, I am happy to enjoy all this extra space by myself.

It's great money but mother of god it tests your sanity at times!

Exactly - I didn't spend years struggling to save as a tenant just to go back to square one sharing like its the 1990s all over again.

Not just older people.

I know of someone who was brutally murdered by a lodger whom they had taken in under the rent-a-room scheme.

Yes - absolutely awful case.
My Dad says he would like to rent rooms if anything happens to my mother, but I'd be very concerned as he's easily scammed (has been over the phone a couple of times, despite having very little to actually steal) and I don't think he'd be able to handle living with a tenant or tenants as well as he likes to think.
