Question 682: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government his views on whether it is fair that persons who purchase their home on the affordable housing and shared ownership schemes may be prohibited from renting out spare bedrooms in their properties although no such restriction applies to those who obtain bank mortgages for their affordable homes; and his plan to resolve this anomaly.

The terms and conditions of the various affordable housing schemes and the regulations governing local authority loans do not prohibit an affordable home owner from renting a spare room in his/her home so long as the property is occupied by the purchaser, as his/her principal place of residence.
