Is there anything we can do? Landlady 'changes her mind' hours before we move in.

It does sound bizarre - and that it's probably because you're black OH NOES!! As has been said above, there are routes you can take to make everybody's lives uncomfortable

I think this is extremely unlikely considering the OP states they handed in copies of their passports over two weeks ago!

Very sorry to hear of your circumstances OP - I hope you are able to sort something soon!

Picking up on Artfuls post - you are perfectly entitled to see information about yourself under DPA.

I know you have given notice on your current place, but if absolutely desperate your current landlord can NOT throw you out without a court order. Obviously such action would ruin your references (and could have other consequences) but sometimes you have to do what you have to do .

* There are people due to move in here (OH's flat) so I would not do that to another couple.

Thanks for all the responses.
* we will certainly ask for a copy of the refs (yes, OH's current landlord did do a ref). Thank you for that advice, I would never have thought to do that.
* yes, I can see that having a relative as my ref could be problematic - it is just that they said it was fine.
* As to race - just realised my OH is the one who submitted passport & he is mixed race. I just had council tax, voters roll etc, no photo ID to see race.

* I will stay on with my mum for longer. Its just so disapointing as we had hoped to finally be together.
