Can you rent a room to anyone if you have a council house?
So basically my friends ex girlfriend has a house which she's is currently not really using except for the days that she is in Uni. I had an issue with my family which required me to move out. She told me she has got 2 rooms £250 a month and would want to rent them out since she doesn't even use the house. We agreed she pays all bills and as stupid as it sounds there's no paper work. I'm a bit frustrated at the moment because she's been using my food and hasn't been topping up electricity like we agreed. After talking to my girlfriend she thinks it's not allowed or should I say not permitted to rent council house. Can you help me please and because she's a female I don't really wanna argue with her I wanna keep the peace. So is she allowed to rent the rooms out or not. If so how can I obtain paperwork from her.

There is no paperwork because your deal is totally ILLEGAL. You are not allowed to stay in someone else's council home and when the council finds out, you will both be chucked out.
Stop acting like a little boy, you KNOW that you are not allowed to live in a council house and pay rent illegally to the person there. Move out NOW before you get caught and get into trouble for helping her to defraud her local council.

No, she isn't allowed , she's making money out of a council tenancy and depriving a homeless family of a home. If she's caught she'll be evicted and prosecuted.

If she does not live there it is illegal and the council can evict you and her. If she lives there she is allowed to rent out a room, if she is claiming housing benefit she must declare the income she is getting from rent.

No. That's subletting which is never allowed on a council tenancy.
Plenty of people do it but it's totally illegal.

you can't rent out something you do not own
