Best way to evict my partners daughter (and baby)?

Whatever happened to families looking after their own?

Does she push in at the front of bus queues as well? Get the last seat in front of others who have been waiting longer/need it more?

I hate queueumping.

I hope your daughter is fully aware of where she may end up!

I was pregnant and my landlord genuinely was selling the house and I had a date to leave. We were offered a B&B 30 miles away from work and where we lived. This was not an option for us at all. So we moved into my mums one bedroom flat for 7 weeks, we were very lucky that after 7 weeks a lovely 2 bed house became available and we moved in. My poor mum allowed myself and my hubby to have her room and she lived in the lounge whilst we were there.

All this happened 7 years ago, things have changed even more now, and not for the better. Good luck to her, it may well be a long and rocky road she has to travel.

Just wondering how she plans to fund this move and future rent payments? Or are you expecting my husband to contribute to her bills?

She could find a private rent with her mum and you are guarantors, then claim housing benefit if entitled. That way she can find a house nearby and won't be living in limbo in the system while the council put her whereever. You or she would need to stump up a deposit, bond and likely 2 months rent up front though.

Your daughter is a lodger rather than a tenant so you do not have to go through legal eviction proceedings. There is no point writing the council a letter saying you want her to move out in a few months as she will only get homeless assistance if she has 28 days to get out of your property. If you want her to get immediate help then state on the letter that she has 28 days notice to vacate.

Find out what your local authority housing scheme is, if it is a list or choice-based bidding system. Then get her registered on it. If a bidding system then properties come up every two weeks that she can register a bid on. You are put in a band - A,B,C etc with A being the highest and usually reserved for emergency/homeless cases. If she wants to be in the higher bands she needs to make sure the housing officer is aware of any health/welfare needs she or her child may have - health visitor may help with this if there are any issues.

It may take a while to get housed this way - I've known people battle to get into Band B and still not get housed for over a year.

Your daughter should make an appointment with the local housing options team to discuss what is available to her. It may be the case that they can help with a deposit on a privately rented place. Or maybe you could stump up the deposit if the other alternatives are her being in a nasty B&B miles away.

Delightful thread re; false eviction from some muppet who can't get a loan in his own name.

You should hang your heads in shame IMHO.

You seek to manipulate the system in this manner to create another sponger on the state?

Cant she and the childs father get a home by other means?

Its not manipulating the system - the housing associations ask for this. Theres nothing underhand about it, its so the housing association can put it with the application, to work out the priority for housing.

Its standard procedure for housing associations.

It is manipulating the system if the op is falsly threatening to kick the girl out just so she can get a council house.
A pound to a piece of sh*t, says if she gets offered b&b by the council then the op lets her stay.

Couples who are working to be able to afford to have children must once more take a step back to allow a single pregnant person to step to the front. If she gets a house / flat as a single vulnerable person perhaps daddy will appear and move in.

I feel for you OP, but I have sympathy for many who've responded less than positively. Our son is also on the list and in a hostel, having lost his job and flat. A few weeks on our sofa left him exhausted and completely miserable with so many getting up from 5.30am onwards.

an you imagine how he feels, seeing young girls getting up the spout and taking priority, whereas those such as him, who needa hand up, would soon be paying their own way etc. are sidelined. Especially galling since he broke up with his GF as she wanted a baby ~ had he gone down that route, he'd be back on his feet by now.
