Investors & landlords
Unfortunately, no. As this arrangement stands, there isn't really anything you can do.
However, you may want to talk to your employer to change this arrangement. 🙂
If your employer requires you to live on-premises, that value would be tax-free. That will save both you and your employer taxes.
For example, let's say you currently get $4000 a month in salary and pay $1000 a month in rent. If your employer changes the situation, your employer could pay you $3000 a month and require you to live on premises rent-free. Your net amount would be the same, but $1000 less would be subject to income taxes and Social Security/Medicare taxes. Your employer would save on Social Security/Medicare taxes, and possibly Federal Unemployment, State Unemployment, and Worker's Compensation.
