    if a person owns a house, say me for example, and i go live somewhere else in Ireland with my GF, can i rent out my own home to a member of my family e.g son , and will he be able to get rent allowance if he is on the dole? and can i still retain my unemployment benefit if i will now be classed as a landlord and renting out a house?

    Doubt you can rent to your son and he can claim rent allowance for it... I'm sure lots of parents would be receiving rent allowance for their elder children living with them if they were unemployed if this was the case.

    From [url]www.welfare.ie:[/url]

    Renting from a parent: You will not get Rent Supplement to help you pay rent to your parent if you are living in the family home. If your parent owns a second property, you will generally not get Rent Supplement to rent this property from them unless it is a bona fide tenancy and you are assessed as having a housing need. Your parent must also be able to prove that they have a history of renting this property.
