Sharing a one bedroom apartment.

Council will say "no" unless the student is your partner - and if so, their income will be take into account in checking if you are eligible for the place.

Does the rent a room scheme cover this in any way? Not that you actually have a "room" to rent.

Rent a room is for owners, not for social housing tenants.

Regardless, there is no room to rent.

Surely sleeping on a couch is not sustainable?

Can’t see how he would have done that.

I think there was more said about it by other ministers at the time too but they come out with all sorts of crap all the time so i gave up listening.

Ok, whatever you say. Not looking for an argument. Believe me or not, i dont care. Im only saying i heard talk from the minister a while ago about social tenants being allowed to earn money from rent a room.

Ahh, I think that's requested, not just declared.

And in a 1brm, the request will be declined, unless the request is for a partner who you will be sharing a bed with.

All the talk above about subletting and rent-a-room is irrelevant, when there is no empty room to be let.
