TV Licence

[BabsG]

Does an adult still living at home require a separate TV licence from their parents? There is no formal rental agreement - payment is on an ad hoc arrangement but she does rent her own TV etc.

No

Thanks loosehead.

That is unless you live in self-contained accommodation, separate from your parents. This is what the tv licensing people sayabout lodgers:


If you watch TV in your room, you need a separate TV Licence.

This is the case unless you have a relationship with the licence holder, for example if you are:

A member of the family
A common law partner
A live-in employee such as a nanny, au pair or housekeeper.

Please note: if you live in self-contained accommodation such as a separate flat or annexe, you will need your own separate TV Licence regardless of your relationship with the home owner.

Thanks Grunty. That makes it very clear.
