Almost quarter of a million (233,697) homeowners have
advertised for lodgers since the announcement of the increase to the Rent a
Room Scheme tax threshold to £7,500 per year. This is an increase of more than

lodgers. London is the only major city where annual lodger rents are still
higher than the new threshold, which kicks in on 6th April 2016. Read more on
