if you're doing anything dodgey, you'll be in much bigger trouble if you get caught.

council property can be rented out i.e sublet as far as i know, but you have to have the agreement with the local council. As to your predicament i would only say that if you tell them now they will probably take the tenant to court or even ask for more rent/council tax. And at worst case chuck him out. The only thing to do is have you any family member you can stay with, if so move there or tell the council you have been living there all this time, but the situation has become untenable due to overcrowding. I know this is a total cheat but plenty of people do it.
