Hi, I am trying to get some advice about overcrowding rules. I am 25, and live with my parents, two adult brothers, 13 year old sister, my DH and DS, who is 4 months old. We live in a three bedroom flat which is rented through the council. My mother shares a room with my sister, my brothers share a room, my dad sleeps in the living room, and me, DH and DS are in the last room. I am on the council waiting list for a flat for DH, DS and I, and we are in band 3, which is the second lowest priority. We cannot afford to rent privately, otherwise we would.
Can anyone provide clarification of the statutory overcrowding act, and what it means for us?
