Boyfriend been kicked out and wants to live with me....

[homealonnneee]

Been together 6 months.
He had his own flat 5 mins away from me.
His landlord is a arse and has kicked him out.
He keeps saying il just sleep in my car(obviously I can't let him do that )But I know once he is in mine he won't leave.
I'm not ready to live with him
What do I do?
Even if I say I will find you somewhere to live he will say he can't afford bond etc
Months rent up front etc
I feel totally trapped into letting him stay now

That sounds highly unlikely…

He needs to do whatever he’d be doing if you two weren’t dating.

I don’t understand his story. The flat needs repairs done to it and he complained so the landlord kicked him out? Why? Surely most people will complain about holes in the place.

If you think he can’t afford rent and to get a new place maybe there’s another reason he got kicked out.

Well that's the strange thing
He was paying £400 a month So I don't get why he would do it.
He said last month he paid £300 and said he wouldn't start paying the full £400 till his repairs were sorted

Sounds like bullshit.

I reckon he just wants to live at your place.

Is your place nicer? You a good cook? Responsible with a steady job?

You’ll end up with a cocklodger.

Does he often treat you as a soft touch, or only when it suits him? You don't want him to move in, that's all the reason you need to say no. I presume he has other people in his life that he's known more than 6 months.

I don’t think it matters that’s there’s no tenancy agreement, the landlord has been accepting rent and so there is a verbal contract- happy to be corrected.

Say NO.

There is no-one so loving as a man who needs a place to sleep. Follow your instincts.

Why was he renting on such dubious terms? Friend of a friend? No tenancy agreement? If he's making such poor and ill advised decisions about something as vital as the roof over his head, is this really someone you want to be in a long term relationship with?? He doesn't sound like a good bet for future long-term happiness.

If you were sure about him, knew it would only be temporary and knew that his eviction was illegal, I could understand if you wanted to consider it.

You aren’t, you have doubts, you don’t.

You shouldn’t.

Listen to your gut.

Your probably right, accepting payment creates a contract in law.

Sounds like bullshit to me. Don’t let him move in-you will never get him out.

This

Just do not let him move in OP, sounds like a total loser and arsehole, and a liar to boot!

I think you probably need to be corrected.

If he pays rent he can rent again

His family can lend him money for a bond. And he must have friends he can stay ar

He should contact his local council

They should have an emergency homeless number.

Ah, that's a shame. I think you can get Premier Inn rooms for about 50quid whilst he figures out what to do.

As for you OP you remain absolutely SILENT, as pp have said you'll end up with a cocklodger and it's not worth the hassle.

He keeps saying il just sleep in my car(obviously I can't let him do that)

You absolutely can let him do that. He is an adult and his housing is not your responsibility or problem to solve. I doubt he’ll be in his car long, if at all. That’s emotional blackmail to get you to let him move into yours.

You need to work out what you’re going to say to him, and just keep repeating it.

That's bullshit. There's laws to protect tenants.
Sounds like a story to move in and live off you.

Can't the council help him? Has he even tried?

You normally pay full rent even when repairs are needed not I'll pay when repaired, he should of rented through an agent and he would of had more rights with a tenancy agreement.
He's only been your bf of six months and the way he lives his life is dodgy I wouldn't can see this ending up in tears when he can't pay his way.

Don't be afraid of being very firm that he's not moving in, even temporarily, for the fear of being seen as rude. Cheeky fuckers rely on the politeness of their victims to get what suits them. 6 months is no time at all and quite frankly, the fact that he's even suggesting living together shows what a brass necked manchild he is. Think on OP, think on.

Did you ever see this ceiling hole?

@Calamitydrayne yes , even without a written agreement a tenant still has rights

< For those tenants that don’t even have a verbal agreement in place with their landlord, they are still protected under the law as long as they are paying their rent regularly, as this acknowledges there is a tenancy in place which exists>

He won't sleep in his car..well he might for one night just to turn the screws. You know you'll not get him out.

I'd end the relationship now. He's clearly not someone to hang your hat on anyroad.
