We rent a house, but she has a lot of debt. Is that even possible, or will it get me into trouble?\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n This does not make you jointly liable for her debts, if that is the reason for your question.\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Dear questioner,\n I think you're afraid your belongings will be seized, and this fear is justified. To prevent this from happening, you should sublet a room to your girlfriend and stipulate the remaining use in a rental agreement, including a list of your belongings in the room in question. Because you're subletting a room, you're not each other's tax partners or benefit partners; therefore, your rent allowance won't be jeopardized. Furthermore, if you rent out the room for an amount below the room rental exemption, you don't have to pay tax on this income. The most important thing is to ensure there's a rental agreement. I can draft one for you if needed; see the direct contact button.\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e \nI don't receive housing benefit but I would be afraid for my belongings if she were to live with us temporarily or register at our address?\n Could the creditors also come to me?\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Even if she registers at your address and you don't make any further arrangements, the bailiff may still ask you to prove which items belong to you and which to your girlfriend. Therefore, at the very least, a list of movable property with purchase receipts is required, or alternatively, a room rental agreement, also with a list.\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302484947293,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-12013-ik-wil-een-goede-vriendin-bij-ons-in-laten-wonen-we-hebben-een-huurhuis-maar-ze-heeft-veel-schulden","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
