Can a Landlord provide overnight care was created by mental addict
Hi. Not sure if this is the right place to post. But do you know if it is permissible for a carer to purchase a property for a disabled friend with 2 rooms so that one for the tenant and the other for the carer where the tenant would be the perspective landlord (in respect of the claimant's benefits). I am unable to get him another place to rent that will take a pet and he is very limited choice where he can move to in accordance with his mental needs so I figured if I took on a mortgage near to where I live then there would be more scope. I need to be at his place overnight due to his medical needs.

You need to get face to face advice, we do not deal with this area of benefits.

I agree with Gordon 100% that this query is not within our remit as moderators.
However, in addition I would be very wary of entering into such an agreement, which would not be covered by any Housing Acts from my experience as a former Principal Housing Officer in local government, before I moved into welfare rights.
