Tithing from Rental Income
Question
Hello, if someone rents out an apartment, do they need to give tithes from the rental income?
Answer
Hello,
If one lives in their own apartment, they must set aside tithes. However, if they are renting and subletting, and all the income from the rent goes to the landlord, they do not need to set aside tithes from the rental income.
