In that case it is a Housing Association house, not a Council House: The tenancy she has is with Peddars Way HA??

Unless there is anything writing (from/to Peddars) about you being there or paying rent then you would appear ...

You are an excluded occupier
You don't have many rights as an excluded occupier, which may make it difficult for you to enforce any other tenancy rights, such as getting repairs done.

• Your landlord does not need to prove a legal reason or get a court order in order to evict you.
• You are entitled to "reasonable notice" but this does not have to be in writing.
• If you cannot negotiate with your landlord to stay longer, you will need to find alternative accommodation quickly.

If you cannot negotiate with your landlord, you may have to consider putting up with things as they are or finding somewhere else to live.

.. with your Girlfriend as your Landlord: (Her Landlord is Peddars Way HA).

Sorry to hear this:

You're hopefully a normal healthy bloke: If so sorry, but in housing terms you'll be very low priority. Go see Council Housing dept & present yourself as "Imminently Homeless" - they may help but may well not.

Also start contacting local letting agencies, B&Bs, newsagents windows advertising rooms/bedsits..

Sorry, just trying to be realistic.

For confirmation of all this see.

If your a healthy single man, get a house share (share a room in a 4 bedroom house with other like minded paying individuals), shouldnt cost so much and ebven minimum wage can cope with paying etc.
