Many people become landlords by accident, not by design.

You might have moved out of your main home, struggled to sell, inherited a property, or rented temporarily while figuring things out. In these situations, people often say the same thing:

“I didn’t plan to be a landlord — it just happened.”

But HMRC don’t look at intention.
They look at whether rental income existed.

In this video, Dora explains what HMRC actually expect from accidental landlords, and why people are often contacted years later, not immediately.

You’ll learn:

• What HMRC mean by an “accidental landlord”
• Why temporary letting still counts as rental income
• Why PAYE and self-employed people often miss this
• Why HMRC don’t usually review rental income in real time
• How data is matched retrospectively
• Why silence from HMRC doesn’t mean approval
• What HMRC usually ask for when they contact you
• What NOT to do if you receive a letter
• The calm, correct way to bring rental income up to date

Most accidental landlord cases are fixable when handled properly.
The biggest problems usually come from delay, not from the rules themselves.

If you’re unsure whether your UK rental income was reported correctly, getting clarity early can save stress, penalties, and unnecessary worry later.
