Recently we have been given a section 21 notice to evict us from our property. We made complaints in writing to our landlord after having no heating for 12 months, asking him to sort the boiler out or we would take it to the council. Instead of agreeing to fix the issue he has decide to evict us under a section 21. I have got funds to move but because we are on DSS we cannot find a landlord anywhere that will take us. We are a family of four. My daughter has special needs and need round the clock care and i have health issues since my son was born which means Im in and out of hospital so my partner cares for us which means he has to be out of work. He does receive carers allowance and we also receive DLA. Anyone have any idea how i can find landlords that will give us a chance, we have never missed rent and have got previous refs. Its so frustrating to be told sorry no DSS. Why will they not give us the chance to have a house just like everyone else, we have never been evicted before and always pay our rent, we shouldn't be discriminated against our personal circumstances! Now my family have only one option to go and apply to the council for homeless. Its not fair. anyone have any suggestions how `we can avoid the council homeless accommodation with our daughter who has special needs and our baby son? Its a cruel world we live in.
