Renting a room as a delivery driver or gig worker
Income that changes week to week and work that runs late are normal for gig work. A few checks before you rent help the room fit.
Showing your income
- Ask what evidence is accepted; see references and renting when self-employed.
- Keep payment statements together so they are easy to share.
Vehicles, bikes and equipment
- Ask whether a bike or equipment can be stored; see bikes and storage.
- Check how you will travel if you have no vehicle; see living without a car.
- Think about getting in safely late; see keys and security.
