To go NC

[Rosebel]

Normally I get on okay with MIL, not brilliant but okay. For the last 5 years we have been renting a house from her. The house is actually in awful condition although we have done bits and pieces to make it better.
End of November we told her I'm expecting again. She says we're stupid as our children are growing up and now we're going to be tied down by another child. I chose to ignore her comments although I was upset.
Mid December MIL says she's selling the house so giving us 6 months notice. Although she still hasn't given us written notice. We can afford to rent but we don't have the deposit, my MIL said we didn't pay one when I know we did but my husband won't stand up to her.
My husband seems to be of the opinion we'll be housed by the council. Well possibly in a B&B but how practical is that with 3 children? I'm so stressed which isn't good but I feel like MIL decided to sell because I got pregnant again and now she won't give us,written notice which the council say they need or give us our deposit in which case we wouldn't need to go to the council.
I think I'm reasonable to go NC but of course my husband disagrees and says I never liked the house so why am I moaning. Well because I'd rather have roof over my head than be on the streets. Would you go NC and be pissed off or an I hormonal and being unreasonable?

Yanbu about the deposit. That's theft. Do you have no proof? Even email or watsapp referencing?

Yabu about selling, it's your MIL house she can sell whenever.

Your biggest issue is your weak and unsupportive husband who puts his mother over his wife and dc.

I know she can sell the house if she wants but what sort of person makes their son and grandchildren homeless. I am sure she's only doing it because I got pregnant but I don't know why it bothers her, it's not like she does any childcare or anything (wouldn't expect her to either).
I can't find anything about our deposit but we both know it was paid. I suppose it's a drawback to renting from family. Although we do have a tenancy agreement I think we did the deposit based on trust. Lesson learned. I think I'm just stressed about ending up homeless.

Present yourself and your dc with the council. Leave your useless dh with his mummy.

Does the tenancy agreement not say something about a deposit?
Have you got any old bank statements/etc that document a transfer of funds?

Don't move out. Inform, estate agents, buyers, MIL's solicitor etc that you are a sitting tenant and unless she follows the law, you are going nowhere.

Leave your DH to do what he likes, but you need to protect your children.

I'd Email MIL today with my intentions.
