Hi Everyone,
Cross-posted from Money Matters for traffic
I got a lodger in about seven months ago and am charging a set monthly rent that includes all bills. In hindsight, the amount I am charging is a bit low, but just wanted to get someone in at the time and wasn't thinking :/ Got the lodger, as need the extra money for bills, mortgage, etc. Anyway, my energy bills (as will be the case with everyone) are shooting up in a month or so's time when my fixed tariff ends. Is it reasonable to ask my lodger to pay more? How would you approach this conversation? He is on a monthly rolling agreement. I want to approach this sensitively and fairly.
Thank you for your advice :)
