HB gets paid directly to social housing landlords - it's only private landlords that have to take the risk that their LHA claimants pay the rent after the tenants have received it directly.

Yes, I meant the rent money from OPs daughter would be going direct to the dad.

true but blowing £8000 could be a path to being on this board with serious card and loan debt:eek:
as for spending the money i can see the others needing to borrow it for a little while when the bills roll in .
She is the only one of the three with a stable income ,
The guys a roofer (building slump and bad weather doesnt help him)
the girls not at college and cant get a job but she apparently cant sign on (makes the flats ownership and there write to be there a bit sus)

getting back to the £8000 it takes me a while to earn that and some people on here would find that a serious lifeline ......

In no way am I saying £8K is not a lot of money, cripes my new job won't be much more than minimum wage. To get into debt your daughter would need to spend £8K+ over and above her salary! That would be quite an achievement without having a serious gambling or drug habit. Hopefully you taught your daughter to budget with her pocket money/ EMA/ first wages?

Just saying there are worse things that could happen. Sensible people won't carry on lending out money ad infinitum, you'd have to be pretty naive to lend out £8K! I just think if you stress about everything you will make yourself ill, and if you transmit too many of your concerns to your daughter she will stop listening completely.

oh well the countdown has begun she moved today and said she will get some more stuff from here at the weekend

theres been no rows but i feel bad that she hasnt listened .

higher up the board some one said 3 months
so if thats 12 weeks its 11 weeks 7 days to go

am i a wimp ???

You are a dad, it's lovely not sad that you care so much. But she is 20 and to a greater or lesser extent she has to make her own mistakes with her parents there if she needs them. The important thing she is safe! I left home at 17 and am still here to tell the tale - never been sacked or arrested - bought my first home six years later. Learned the hard way that it was NOT a great idea to stay up all night before work and live on junk food. :rotfl:

Let's all guess her likely exit and then Spitakimus14 can tell us who wins.

My estimate is that she'll bail out within 8 weeks so she'll be back home by end July/early Aug .

I think she'll have a month of feeling all grown up but then find sharing with a couple unbearable.

If shes a stubborn little know all like I was at 20 ( still am )

then I guess she will stick it out for longer than this, until she can bear it no more and make out it was her idea to move onto something better

Please be more specific about your estimated date when the daughter will bail out so we can see who 'wins'.

She sounds like a stubborn lady so 2 months is still honeymoon period.

Alright my hats in the ring, I think she'll stick it till January. :cool:

Then she will be skint, have the post Xmas blues where no one really does anything socially, when the couple no doubt will have had a cosy Xmas where she will have felt pushed out, and probably a couple of drunken arguments as well.

UNless they are really awful, of course it could be sooner, but they need her more than she needs them by the sound of it
