Being a landlord whilst on Tier 2 visa

[UKLL]

Hello,

I know the 20 hours supplementary work rule and no self-employed rule whilst on Tier 2 General, but what about income from renting your house? What kind of income is this? It's neither a second job nor self-employed job. Thank you!

Unless you are a professional landlord, neither.

It is simply a rental income which is a separate classification

Is there anybody who has rented out their property while being on Tier 2 and have had their ILR processed please ?

My understanding is that, once you rent out a property, you need to do a self assessment and pay the tax due for the rental income.

Assume, this would have no impact on ILR. can someone who has gone through this process please help clarify.

Hi All,

I found this online:

Does this mean we cannot rent out our house, as it's classified as self-employed.

Is it correct?

Thanks

Hi all,

I rang HMRC, they have advised that renting a room is NOT considered as self-employed
