How to jump housing list or get a coucil house asap

Genuinely be in the highest category of eligibility. Even then you can be in temp for quite a long time.

Talk to Shelter if you need advice on how the application/bidding system works in your area.

Anything you do to 'jump' the list if you're not genuinely eligible is fraud. Don't do it.

(17 years working in social housing and I've seen every trick in the book).

How about saying I got kicked out my mums with my two kids when I'm 18? X

If your dm writes a letter with a date you need to be out then that's the date you would be homeless. . .

Sorry what does dm mean please? Xx 😘 will it be easy or hard that way I want a easy way and a fast way I have two kids one 5months and I'm pregnant and I want to move out xx

Explain your situation honestly.

That's it.

Mums house is big though ... she has a three bedroom house n it's me mum n my kids now so her in one room me in one n now my two kids can be in one 😫

I'm sorry, but that's tough. If you lie you're putting yourself ahead of people that genuinely have nowhere to live.
It's totally immoral to misrepresent your situation.

Unless she's abusive then it's tough luck really. Join the housing list with everyone else and wait your turn whilst you have a roof over your head. Do you really want to queue jump ahead of those who are genuinely in need?

OP can I clarify, youbhave two dcs and you are pregnant and you are 18?

Unfortunately you will have to join the list and wait....if you go down the "she's asked me to leave" route then they'll house you & your child in a hostel, you will stay there until you get a council house.

There is no "quick" route anymore.

I am 17 my daughter is 5months and I am pregnant just to clarify x 🌸 and yes I'm with the father if anyone tries to be negative I don't wanna hear it cause that all I get on mumsnet

There isn't really a 'quick' way, if you went on the housing register as you are now it could be years and years. We were made homeless last year as the landlord sold the house. We were put in a b&b 30 miles from home, I was pregnant with another DC and had to bring our newborn 'home' to the b&b. We were there four months and are now in temporary accomodation which could be another 18 months. You are best saving a deposit and renting, you may get help with the rent but there are so many families homeless that the 'fast' way is not a quick fix and is really hard.

I thought you were going to move in with your partner?

DM = dear mum
DC = dear child(ren)

Theres a list of acronyms here

I am going to move in with my partner but council will be cheaper in the long run 😂this is private and he gets no housing benefit

I worked in housing - unless your mum kicks you out and if things are good between you it may be better to stay with her for now.

Remember even if you do get a property you will need to decorate it and furnish it - you will need £ for gas/electricity and you may not be in a particularly nice block.

Your own place may seem like a dream but not if you've no furniture, it's cold, noisy and smells.

That said you can always speak to a housing officer.

What about speaking to your partner about moving into a furnished private tenancy?

What vague area of the country are you in as it will have an influence on how easy it would be. Also will your mum support you by evicting you.

I'm in London 😞and yeah my mum would support 😊 x

Tbh me and my mum don't get along ... me my boyfriend and mum don't get along but we are close she is annoying and boarding mental health I love her and we can click but growing up ain't been easy I've been in care and so I try to get along with her I do x it's just hard at the moment I think me having this baby she is finding it to much and she doesn't now I'm pregnant now because I know she won't react well at all x

Run a check through entitled to website to see if you may get housing benefit if you move in with him
