    Hi Dollparts,

    I was in same situation a while ago, agency told LL not to let us sign new contract but to leave it on rolling tenancy thinking that we would have less rights. I had in my honesty told them that I had given up my job and was going onto JSA till I found a more local one after mat leave. He panicked thinking that he wouldn't get rent though he'd told me that his previous tennant was on HB for 6 yrs, so they wouldn't send me a new tennancy agreement therefore I couldn't go ahead with HB claim.

    The Council said that if I could get a letter from LL saying that I was liable for £X rent at X place then that would surfice for HB claim.

    Ask the council what they think is best.

    omg the council are so.....carol beer! :rotfl:

    i got passed over so many times the last time I rang them about this. Half a box of fags later I was still none the wiser! If I could just get through to someone who could think off of their manuscript I would be half way there. Trouble is if you're anything like a round pin in a square hole they can hardly get you transferred to another dept quick enough!

    You're so right, I know I'm lumping all my worries together which is a clasic trait of mine. I have 'other' issues too, (no pound sign with this one) and I'm allowing that to get me down too...

    Yes one thing at a time we can handle but why oh why do things come in three's and four's. That said normally we can deal with most things but we get low over somthing and that's it all hell breaks loose and it seems like the end of the world.


    BC is more emotional than people realise.....Dx

    My nan used to smoke those I think-are they the ones without a filter?

    I seem to recall senior service ones too I think.

    How do I know all these things? :confused:
