do you know 'Housing Law' re: Children living in Flats

SingleSue

In her position, I would be grabbing the offer of a new build house with both hands...in this area there is a huge fight to get a house instead of a flat (in fact, there is a fight to get anything at all!)*

*I say this as a housing association tenant so no snobbery here.

Wow, who rattled your cage? What's with all the negative, aggressive statements from you and other posters.... I was simply asking if anyone had had a personal experience or maybe knew some actual facts....

I've noted your 'crazy idea' you suggested, but she has exercised her free will and has rented in the private sector for the past 5 years after selling her OWN home, but there's only so many evictions you can take through landlords not paying their mortgages and I think loosing 3 x £500 deposits is quite ample.

She has strived all her life to avoid the shame, embarrassment of living in council/social housing , especially when having opinions of people like yourself but also because they're usually not very nice places.

As for the person who asked was i just having a moan:rotfl: not at all....I thought this forum gave personal experiences' *confused*.

....actually this lady is 'homeless' or she would be if she wasn't cramped next door with 6 people living in a 2 bed (2 children under 5)...her child cannot do homework in peace and quiet either...but then again beggars can't be choosers....but when you've kept yourself and your children in private homes all your life but are listed for over 10 years on HA and they're offering brand new properties you can.

God bless

So her child is suffering through its mothers 'choices'

It beggars belief how someone could live in those conditions and at the same time refusing to move to a brand new house.... if it's actually true obviously.
