The number of homeowners taking on lodgers has hugely increased in recent years due to rising costs and housing pressures. Many are people opting to rent a room from their home-owning friend rather than take their chances in the overheated rental market. But living alongside a live-in landlord, who’s also your friend, can test the relationship.

We would like to hear from people who have had experiences of living with a “friendlord” in the past 5-10 years, about how it affected your friendship, positively or negatively. Stories may appear anonymously.
