To use my recently cleared Credit Card for this..

[Qwerty19]

I'll try and keep it short.
Overcrowded in HA. Have found a private rental. Awaiting on the paperwork to move end of month
We've been told we can paint as 2 of the bedrooms are not good and need to do before moving as once furniture in it will be difficult.
My son has enough stuff as he has own room now.
Dd and dsd have nothing for a bedroom as currently sharing with us. Ie wardrobe space etc.
The girls room will need a carpet too which we've been given permission.
I'm stressing as every bit of cash we've had to use for deposit and month upfront.

I need to get wardrobe and drawers for girls. A bed for ds and the girls will have the bunks that ds currently uses ( dsd normally goes in with him and dd in cot but outgrown)
A few homely items like lighshades. Curtains etc.

Everything else we'd make do. But to try and furnish a 3 parlour bed house from a small 2 bed flat at short notice is stressing me out.
I struggle with change and the fact I love my home as it is.

Due a babybin the new year so wanted to get sorted by end Oct to then concentrate on Xmas and baby.

Please note. I didn't expect my life to change so much when I moved here it was just me and ds. Never expected to meet so. Wine and get married. We had dd with treatment but was told we wouldn't conceive naturally and we did.. If it wasn't for that we would of manged to scrape by until ds goes to uni.

I had worked hard to clear the credit card so feel gutted to feel the need to use it. But I goess it's not like I'm using it for useless things or meals out etc.

He wants min 10 years providing we pay on time then he has no problem. So fingers crossed

I don't want to seem negative, but every landlord I have ever let from has said this, and apart from one, they all either want higher rent or new tenants after a year or two. It makes no market sense to keep letting to the same people year after year, unless they let their property standards drop, because the value of the house goes up and they can get more rent for it. Our next door neighbour changes yearly because the landlord can get an extra £100 a month if he relets it. None of the tenants ever want to leave.

Wool carpets is harder... If you're allergic, will putting down your carpet on top be enough? Will it ruin his carpet underneath? Would rugs do?

I agree. Unfortunately private renting isn't secure. You can't proceed on the basis that you will be there for years and years, when he could ask you to leave at any point with between 2 and 6 months notice depending whether you sign a new tenancy agreement or not.
