My friend is a council tenat and gave the statuatory notice of 4 weeks on the 6 th of December 09 she was going to move in with her boyfriend but this has gone belly up and now shes freaking out that she will be homeless and on the streets.
Im 2008 she got in a mess with her rent, shes bi polar, lost her job and went on full HB and CTB..they took her to court and they issued a posession order for the flat but this was suspended provided she paid the arrears off at £5.00 per week she has paid this agreement on the arrears each month by direct debit and had also arranged to continue paying this debt so that when she moved out in Jan 2010 so that should she ever have to move back into the area she could approach said council for housing without worrying that she had left a debt behind her.
I personally feel that she has been hounded out of her tenancy by the council, as she is bi polar, sometimes she cant cope and spends time about 3 nights at her sisters...but this has upset some folk locally that shes not there and they have consistantley reported her to the council as being an absent tenant, the last time her sister had to make it clear that the council knew of her bi polar and the up and down nature of the mental health problem, she has done so wel in the last year and was looking to return to work, the last home visit from the council came complete with an inspection and a notice of tenancy form, she was under the impression that they were giving her 4 weeks to leave so she listened to her idiot boyfriend who suggested she move in with him...
Big mistake as she loses her Income Support/Disability premium and would be entirely dependant on him financially, now sanity has struck home as to what she has done..she sold her furniture and is ready to move when he upsand announces the rules and rwegulations of moving in...so she is panicking now as he will now not be independantly financial wise and have to doas he tells her this has freaked her due to her violent marriage being on the same kind of theme.
Can the council take her change of mind into consideration or will they be able to make the notice of termination of tenancy stick any info appreciated please.

why not accompany your sister to he council offices and help her explain in person what has happened and ask if she can take back her notice....0

It might also pay for her caseworker to attend or at least speak then write to the Council.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0

In addition to the above advice you should tell your sister in no uncertain terms that she MUST NOT make any life-changing decisions without speaking to you and/or her case-worker before she does so. Poor lamb, I feel for her.0
