Hi!
So, 6 weeks ago I found out my partner had cheated on me and I left. He owns the house that we lived in, so I had to move out. I went back to my mums, but on Friday she is moving into a 1 bed flat as she has sold her house (it was sold before I moved back in with her). Where she is moving is over 100 miles from where we currently live, so it’s not like I can go with her and just stay on the sofa for the time being. The closest person I could potentially stay with is my dad, but he lives 35 miles away and I don’t drive, so I wouldn’t be able to get to work.
I have actively been looking for somewhere to rent, which has been difficult as there is barely anything available. For the last 2 weeks I have been undergoing checks to rent a 1 bed house, but today I was rejected as they said my income was too low and my guarantor was also rejected. I worked out my finances before applying for the house, and although I might not have been able to afford much in the way of luxuries and treats after rent and bills, and would have managed just fine.
I was pinning everything on being able to get this house, and now I’ve been rejected I am absolutely screwed. I don’t know what to do or where to go from here. I suppose my purpose of this post is just to vent really, but does anyone have any advice? And has anyone ever been in a similar situation and then everything became okay again?
I just feel so ill, stressed and panicked. Thank you xxx
