To be fair, surely you can understand why she might not be overjoyed at the prospect of another baby when you're already living with her with two very small children.

When are you 18??

They don't give tenancies to under 18.

You'd only be able to get a "license".

Are there any young mother schemes in your area? There is one in my local area that helps rehouse young mothers to a purpose build block of flats and they can live there until they are 21 then they get rehoused elsewhere.

No I will only be handed over to social services so I think I need to wait till I'm 18 then they can't take us x 😞

Stay with mum. You are a vulnerable teenager who struggles to make the right decisions and gs other difficulties . You are best off where this is an adult.

Your bf must be earning a reasonable amount or be very young not to get hb. Iirc he is early 20s. Why should he not support you and his children ? You were concerned about ss involvement on previous thread. As homeless , lone parent and under 18 you will probably come under their radar and there are support groups for young mums.

Some London boroughs only offer housing outside London in cheaper areas as London housing is expensive and rents are not covered by benefits.Are you prepared to move to another area away from your mum? Is your partner prepared to move with you?

user1486273640 · 10/03/2017 11:21

Thankyou x so I am thinking either stay with mum or move in with him and when I'm 18 claim housing benifits and move to something bigger

Does your partner have his own place? Why aren't you and the children living there now?

user1486273640 · 10/03/2017 11:22

Because I'm 17 I thought I can't move out tbh I'm scared of social services so I'm trying to prevent everyway possible of not having them after being in their system growing up

If you moved in your bf could claim hb etc. Not sure of the rules given your ages though and the lha would only cover a 2 bed.

PurpleDaisies · 10/03/2017 11:25

If your boyfriend has s place he can pay for, why would you need to claim housing benefit?

user1486273640 · 10/03/2017 11:25

Did ss get involved when you had your first baby

happy2bhomely · 10/03/2017 12:07

I had my first at 17. I am not judging you. Did you plan both of your pregnancies?

I rented privately as soon as I turned 18 and we got housing benefit. It was through a family friend of a friend so I didn't need a deposit.

The landlord then sold, so we were made homeless and housed in a bed and breakfast for 3 months, then temporary accommodation for 3 years, then we were given an 8th floor council flat. We stayed there for 6 years and then did a mutual exchange to a house.

This was all 16 years ago though. Now in my area of London homeless applicants have no priority at all for council properties. Homeless applicants only get help with securing private rentals.

Toobloodytired · 10/03/2017 13:46

I'm not in London however I am pregnant & have to leave where I'm currently living.

Went to the council to be told il go to a b&b & then a family hostel & then if I get lucky bidding then il get my flat.

As I couldn't bear taking my baby home to a b&b, I decided to go private.

This is one of those situations that SS should be involved in!
