Okay... Does anyone have a house they can rent out to me?

I need a home.
I'm in a refuge, getting nowhere with housing, have six children, but would keep the house very clean. I have good credit, and a deposit waiting.

I need a place 😢

Thanks for reading x

Glad you are still going strong op! He is vile and disgusting for doing this to you all.

Im sure you have considered getting an order to keep him away from the property so you and the kids could move back in?

I take it you didn’t get that house…, it must be so destabilising not having a place to call home

I hope someone on here comes to your rescue

Ah thank you!

My horrible solicitor who I have hopefully now got rid of charged me so much money to basically tell me to stay in the refuge and not accept ANY house even one down the road from my ex, in case he "wants us closer". So no, I didn't get the house :(

I've considered an Occupation Order but then we'll lose our place in the queue for social housing and be in an even worse position in 6 months.

If you are in a refugee then you are homeless. If you ray will go aggregate then see if you can get rehomed to west Lancashire. Specifically a town called Skelmersdale. We have a lot of council houses and affordable houses being built at the moment and some are even shared ownership. It's a pretty good place to live, very green and close to Liverpool , Wigan and Manchester

Thank you. I'd live anywhere, I don't mind. Just need a place to call home

Yes, as you are fleeing violence you can apply to any council in the UK. South Wales Valleys have very cheap council houses and in some areas there are no waiting lists, as in you will be housed immediately. Flintshire is the same and near to Liverpool. I would look to restart your life somewhere cheap.

This was my plan but the bastard has put a stop to it all by applying for a prohibited steps order back in December. Although when the court hearing finally came round in March, he didn't even mention it!! I think I know what it is... He thinks the only way I can get/afford a house is if I move in with another bloke, and he'd never let that happen (that's not what I'm planning, whatsoever!)

If you're flexible about where you move to then worth checking out which councils will let you bid on 4 bedroom homes - it is something where some are more pragmatic than others. Or the previous suggestion of South Wales is probably a good one.

Thank you. I've applied to Wales, just need to send them ID etc x

Platform Housing sometimes has three bed direct access social housing properties for rent in Herefordshire. You can make a direct application on the website. I've successfully placed someone using the website. Give that a go too!
