Partner changed locks while I am pregnant and my belongings remain inside

[Rhiannon1997]

I'm 24 weeks pregnant and in hospital, my partner wants me out the house and has kicked me out and is saying he has changed the locks. All my belongings are still in his house what are my rights to gaining entry?
i know I have no rights to the property but I have no where else to go and want to sort my own stuff out. Does he have to give me a timeframe or can he just bag my own stuff up and chuck it out

No he can’t just kick you out, you at the very least have tenancy rights which come with a proper notice period for eviction. That being said, he sounds abusive and toxic so maybe best you don’t go back alone as he sounds horrible. Do you have family, or friends who can help you with packing your stuff and give you a place to stay? You must end this relationship, you cannot bring a baby into such an unstable environment. Keep yourself safe, do not go back there alone.

@NewbieSM it's the man's house, so he can choose who he wants living there.

Tell your midwife that you're homeless. Do you have enough money for a deposit to rent a home for yourself?

How do you know she has tenancy rights?

OP I would make an urgent application to the council if you don't have anywhere else to go, and contact the police to report him depriving you of your belongings, in the context of domestic abuse. I don't know if they could intervene if it was purely a civil disagreement but given the domestic abuse context they may have more remit to assist you in getting it back.

He won’t be depriving her of her belongings unless he refuses to allow her to collect them or disposes of them. Whilst they are in his home he will be required to make efforts to return her stuff to her. If she doesn’t collect them he can sell them and give her the money.

The first step for the OP is to contact him stating that she wants to collect her belongings. She should provide a list of what these are.

This is probably an involuntary bailee situation for him. Meaning he has a responsibility to return the items.

If it is his home there probably isn’t much point contesting occupation rights or how he ended up in possession of her belongings.

Please ask to speak to the hospital social worker about your housing situation. You are currently pregnant and homeless with pregnancy complications so I think that the council would have a statutory duty to house you. If not, do you have any family and friends you could go to?

What tenancy rights??

He's her partner, not her landlord.

OP, I'd contact 101 for advice.
