ROOMER/BOARDER INCOME

1. Unearned

Applicants must own or be purchasing the property to consider “roomer/boarder income.” When all household members are renting a single dwelling, it is considered shared expenses, not roomer/boarder income.

When a recipient receives contributions for shared expenses that exceed the household’s total expenses, the excess is considered unearned income to the recipient.

Roomer/Boarder income is determined by using gross room/board amount less actual rental expenses. Expenses may include interest on mortgage, property taxes, maintenance/repair costs, insurance on structure, advertising and utilities when paid by the landlord.
