How do you leave a relationship if it makes you homeless?

Bumping

A lot depends on why you’re leaving e.g. abusive partner or just grown apart, how your current living set-up is arranged - mortgage, renting? - and whether you’re married. Then do you need to house children or just yourself, have a rental deposit & own income etc.

Do you want to give some specifics about your situation, OP? There are some very knowledgeable posters who can try to help.

Do you want to share some context?

If you are in the uk you can contact shelter - or look up spare room - apply for benefits.

Kids , abuse ?

If no kids actually it’s easier
Sofa surf and rebuild

Good luck but can’t advise without context xxx

Abusive relationship - seek support from services and make a homeless application
Non abusive - save money, borrow money, stay with friends or family etc

Are you married or not ?
Do you own your home or rent ? If you own, are you on the deeds ? If you rent, are you on the agreement ?
Do you have an income from work or benefits ?
Do you have children who will be going with you ?

Living together, no mortgage, no kids, not married, need to house just myself. Any other questions? Thanks

*Not married *Partner owns the house *I have an income from work *No kids

I assume you're asking because you don't have enough money to rent a place alone?

Have you looked into what benefits you might be entitled to?

Have you thought about being a lodger for a bit, or a house-share or even a job that comes with accommodations? Just as a temporary measure until you get back on your feet?

Where were you before you moved in with him?

Can't go back to my old living situation because the room isn't available anymore & I don't have the same job as I had before

Being a lodger is a good idea, I did house-share before but I don't like sharing

If you have an income from work then you need to rent somewhere, and look into benefits such as UC (which has an allowance towards rent element) if your wage doesn’t allow you to rent somewhere alone.

I found a houseshare via the Spareroom website. It all depends on your situation though.
