Desperate to live with my partner

30 years here - and we still walk around hand-in-hand.
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
And so do we after nearly 37 years.
OP, why do you think you would be victimised in Council accommodation? It can happen anywhere.
To rent privately I think you need a deposit (which varies but is not usually less than £1000 from what I understand) and a month's rent in advance. After six months you can be evicted with two month's notice.
I personally would try again for Council Housing if I were you, just explain that you can't live in the same area where you were bullied.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
Good god! Someones bitter arnt they?!
Is there any need for this!?
I was deeply in love day one, 3 years later we are still together
It does happen you know :rotfl:
No. Merely being sensible.
Being on benefits and changing your circumstances is a big step to take if you're not sure.
6 months is an incredibly short time to make a decision like this, especially with the added stress of no fall back at all. The OP is already in the bad position of being homeless due to not being able to live where they could previously.
Out of the frying pan into the fire comes to mind as a pretty appalling cliche but worth considering.
Is living with someone an easy way out of being homeless?
Should the OP get themselves into a property and then slowly over the next 6 months or so start by staying over and finding out more about the person they are so desperate to live with.
Yes for two settled people falling in love is a very simple thing and moving in together is one thing. but in this case the op is homeless. That might be encouraging them to take shortcuts with their personal life which could result in them being in a much worse situation or homeless again.
If the OP was certain that moving in with the love of their life was the right thing to do, they wouldn't be asking for help here. They'd just do it and then be asking "I've moved in with my partner and our benefits have been messed up, what can I do."0
