. so basically, we live together. And I just found out that she is also just renting the house and is accepting benefits from the council (so this is a council house?) and It's illegal for her if not stated in the agreement.. ohmy, she must be in big trouble.
Aah...you may have a bargaining tool then...if she has not declared the income from the room to the council and the Department for Work and Pensions.

Just check whether you should also be paying council tax though (as you are an extra adult in the house) before making any anonymous phone calls to the (free) benefit fraud line.
