Would love to get some advice on this as I'm still none the wiser as to my situation. Been to Shelter and CAB but cant get through. Lost my mother in August, I was her carer and Son. She was a secure tenant. I have it in writing from the council I have a legal right to succeed the tenancy but are refusing to give me the tenancy while I occupy this one, only another property. It's currently under occupied by two bedrooms, it's a three bedroom semi. I understand the council's position and will comply. and as of last week theyve given me the ability to bid on other one bedroom places which I have been doing. However it appears that they will serve me with 'a notice of seeking possession' under grounds 15a (Underoccupancy).
My question is: where do I stand legally should the council seek to evict me from here? The wait times for Category A is over 19 months apparently and the succession letter says i can expect to receive the eviction notice between 6-12 months when they were notified. Will I be offered a suitable alternative accommodation?
