For the last few months I’ve been renting a room in my house under the rent a room scheme. Am I obliged to register as a landlord?
 
You may need to register with your local authority, but this should not cost any money. You do not need to register with the PRTB.
 
You don't need to register with anyone. There is no rental agreement as such - you are renting 'under license'. You need to include rental income on your tax returns. Tax free so long as you don't earn over 7662 pa.
