Council house joint tenancy

Well it seems the most sensible and workable option.

You moved you and your children out into a new persons home, which I imagine was a large upheaval both for them and for you.

Now you want to move them 'back home' and live with their Dad, their Mum, Mums new boyfriend and Dads new girlfriend? And expect that to work?

You feel you deserve the tenancy because you have the children, so why did you move out? You obviously knew what type of flat you were moving into, and chose to do that.

If your ex had broke up with you, moved out, and then decided HE wanted to move back into the dining room with his girlfriend, are you honestly telling me you would be happy and invite him back in?

Also, if he isnt paying the rent, then surely he's gonna get kicked out shortly anyway...

His girlfriend doesn't live with him.
I had to move out as it was unbearable living there at the time. No im sure i wouldn't be happy if the shoe was on the other foot but what choice would i have.

Well you cannot force your ex to live with your new partner, thats ridiculous to be honest.

Do you have a right to move back in? I suppose if your name is on the tenancy. Obviously your children do to, but your new partner has no right to move into the council property.

Why dont you move back in with your ex, alone, and let your partners brother move back in, so the finances are all back to normal? You can't have everything.

Anyway is your boyfriend even able to rent out his property? A lot of shared ownership properties do not allow this...

If you end your joint tenancy, the council may well not let your OH stay anyway even though he was a tenant, if the house is bigger than him and his partner need. One joint tenant can end the tenancy without the agreement of the other. While ever you remain a tenant you will be equally liable for rent etc. you could apply to court for an occupation order to get the house back and get things sorted as it will need to be eventually, the council will want the house to be occupied by a family - not a single person.

Of course it possible. It's against the rules but it's possible all right. You just have to take steps to prevent them finding out. I doubt that any social landlord has a department dedicated to cross-referencing that sort of information, even if it was easily-sourced. Which it isn't

No need to prevent them finding out at all. It's all within the "rules". As long as the social housing was your primary residence, you can have as many other houses as you wish and do with them as you see fit.
