Sub-letting your home as a shared owner is only allowed in exceptional circumstances.
If you sub-let your home without written agreement from us then you are in breach of your lease, and we will take action against you to terminate the sub-let.
Requests will be considered on a case by case basis and any agreement will be subject to a number of conditions. We will require written evidence of any exception. If permission is granted there will be a number of requirements and we reserve the right to withdraw our permission at any time. The agreement will be for a maximum period of twelve months.
You may be able to take in a paying guest or lodger providing you are still living in the property as your main home, however you must contact the Post Sales Approvals team at Moat to obtain written consent, as in some cases we will need to seek consent from your managing agent (where applicable).
Please note that taking in a lodger should be an informal, short term option; advertising and letting a room on a short term basis, for example via Airbnb, or similar letting platform, is not permitted in any circumstances.
