Hello everyone! I totally new to this!
So here it goes 🙈

I’ve been with my partner now for 8 years we have a 6 year old and 2 year old daughter and a 7 month old son... since having my son he doesn’t help me! He works full time fair enough but as soon as he’s home he’s straight on to his computer/PlayStation in his “game room” and I’m left with my children in the living room! I beg him to help me and come in with us but he has the excuse of working 40 hours a week. He literally never bothers with them 😢... there’s also a money situation he’s always talkin about MONEY! Sayin I owe him money I’m currently on mat leave so pay is not great and I’m skint! We don’t sleep in same bed I’m begging him to leave especially since he doesn’t help with the children anyway but he just won’t leave when I ask he just goes on and on sayin I have no friends and nobody wher we live! I’ve moved from Lancashire to Newcastle where he’s from for him! I’m broken I’m so down I just want him out of the house, his mum lives in the same area as us and he could easily live there but he won’t! What can I do 😪 xxxx

LittleOwl153 · 03/05/2019 13:31

So if he wont move what can you do to move you and the kids?

You need a lawyer and a plan to move out and away.

Change the locks while he's in work, pack his things up and drop them at his mother's.

You can have him removed.

Check with the LL before you go changing locks willy nilly.

ScrewyMcScrewup · 03/05/2019 13:44

You don't need the landlord's permission to change the locks but you may be charged at the end of the tenancy if you don't reinstate the old ones before leaving.

OnlyRealButterWillDo · 03/05/2019 13:52

You don't need to ask a landlord if you can change the locks. You're legally entitled and quite frankly, in any new home it should be the first thing you do. You have zero proof that you are the only one with a key.

Take your partner's clothes outside in bags and change the locks.

You are not broken!! You are tired and drained and trodden down but inside you can find the core of strength you need to do what is right for you and your children’s well-being and get him out. Give him a day you want him out by, then contact police if he won’t leave. He has no right to be in your property if you do not wish it. Send him a letter via a solicitor if that may help. Or get a supportive family member/friend to be with you whilst you explain he is not a tenant and you wish him to leave...there’s different ways of doing it but you have to say enough is enough and mean it. Remember, not broken!

SihtricsHorseWitnere · 03/05/2019 14:06

I'd see a solicitor to see how to get him out.

werideatdawn · 03/05/2019 14:08

If it's just your name get him out. Pack up his shit, drop it at his mothers and lock him out. Utter waste of space man child.
