Can a landlord’s wife sign a licence agreement and profit from letting?

LANDLORD FORUM › Category: Letting › Can a landlord’s wife sign a licence agreement and profit from letting?

The property is in my name. Can my wife sign a licence agreement with a tenant on behalf of a landlord and receive profit from letting to her bank account? Will it be considered her incomes for tax declaration or mine?

Yes, your wife would be considered the landlord legally and for tax purposes too.
