Still think that would be viewed as non-commercial. PIM2130 (mentioned by Wilson Phillips below) gives the example of a property being rented to relatives, friends, staff and business associates, so it is not family connection that is necessarily relevant here.
I believe the expenses would still be restricted for the non-relative.
From memory, I think the issue is more to do with the fact the letting is no longer wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the rental business, as part of the reasons for letting are to provide a friend/relative with a place to live, rather than just letting to a connected person - it used to be ITTOIA 2005 s272 but not sure what it is now....
Spoofee - must use that in my next Scrabble game :). I agree probably just a computer generated HMRC letter with errors on and, as mentioned by WhichTyler, return address should be easy enough to confirm if genuine.
Probably an error but, on the other hand, quite a good way of getting someone's income details and sources, date of birth and possibly NINO and bank repayment details if they complete those sections on the return....

Never thought I'd miss the old HMRC website but now I really do! So much easier to find what you were looking for back then.

I agree with you Justin - wasn't suggesting otherwise.
…and the splitting of proceeds is still in HMRC's stamp duty manual (SDLTM04010)….
I second that - still fundamentally childcare the whole way through.
