Renting - hosting Someone end of life care

[BlueButterfliesAndPurpleStars]

Hello!

I hope this is the right place to post.

My Grandma is very poorly with terminal bowel cancer. She's done really well fighting it but was Switches to palliative care around 2 years ago. Still fighting! And doing well at home with outside support from friends (though housebound).

Things are taking a turn, and I'm too far to provide proper daily care if needed. What I'd like to happen, if things go that way way, is for her to move in with me (my kids can rearrange bedrooms for a while) for the last weeks / months. I'm working from home, work is aware of the situation, I'd much rather that than hospice etc (unless absolutely needed right at the end).

However, it's a rented property and I know if another adult is here it needs to be reported. Are they likely to take issue? Should I phone now to clear it before getting her hopes up? Even if it doesn't happen? Or would a curtesy call if / when be OK? Or not worry about it at all?

I wouldn’t say anything. I would think it’s only as a joint tenant that it needs to be reported?

If you were my tenant the only thing I'd want to know was are you ok? I can't think of any 'issue' with this. I'd have wanted to do the same for my gran had it been possible.

Private rented or housing association?

Thank you! Yup def not joint tenant or anything long term. She has her own flat, this would be purely so I can look after her rather than going to hospice.

Private rented, not housing association.

I have her to thank for being a stickler to rules and worrying about these kind of things

Honestly at this point I'd insist she does it now, but she has friends she will probably never see again once she makes the move as they won't be able to travel. I do want it to be an open invitation, as long as she needs, as soon as she thinks she needs it. I've hated not being there more esp through Corona.
