I've got a lovely guy coming to stay at my place.
It could be for aprox. 4 months, but could be longer.
From what I've read, he's a lodger and not a tenant because there's not defined period of how long he'll be staying.He's giving me 2 x weeks bond, do I need to lodge the bond if he's not a tenant?
Also, he's requested receipts as his rent is coming out a stipend.
I'm happy to provide them, but just want to know about claiming the rent on tax.
I've been told that I may be able to claim house maintainance expenses for any work done on the house while he is living with me. Is this correct, or does it only apply when the whole house is rented out?I've emailed my accountant and knowing him, should be receiving a reply in about 6 months.
(BTW – I'm in WA)
