I have read few guidances but still need clarification as some guidance say that if you are joint tenants and not in a marriage or civil relationship, you do not need a written formal agreement on the unequal share of the rental income. Therefore in my case, my father takes 100% of the rental income, I don't have anything to declare, as my ratio is 0% hence does this constitute no self assessment on my behalf?

I own only one rental property with my father, and he takes 100% of all the rental income. It's not a business, and he pays for all the repair expenses that occur. I have read HMRC guidance documents; however, I am still confused about whether I need to submit a self-assessment. My father will submit a self-assessment as he takes the 100% rental income. Am I correct in making the assumption that I don't need to submit a self-assessment as my share is 0% of rental income? (the property is owned as joint tenants, not tenants in common)

I own one property with my son as joint tenants, not tenants in common. We have decided that I would take all the rent. Does this agreement have to be in writing and if so can my son and I write up an agreement ourselves and sign it or does it have to be done by a solicitor?
