Evicting Son

life_unexpected_2

Are him and his girlfriend planning on looking to be housed together as even if you do evict him he will be low priority to most housing teams and provided with numbers for hostels. Also not sure he would be entitled to much in the was of housing benefit. I would suggest he contact Shelter to discuss this with them, there free phone number is on their website.

Would it be possible for you to accompany him to your local CAB? Perhaps then he would see for himself what he's entitled to and if you were there supporting him he would not then scream at you what he 'thinks' he's entitled to? He must be really stressed finding himself about to be a dad, facing eviction from his home while on a low wage.

Sajane - the hardest thing I had to do was write an eviction notice for my son, his partner and thier twin babies - but, otherwise they were not considered homeless and the HA and council were quite happy to leave them sleeping on sofas in my living room! I understand they have rules - but sometimes those rules are really stupid!

I would give him the letter that he wants he will soon find out how good an offer £60 per month is

If he is working full time hours then he is not entitled to Income Support so he may want to take that into account when deciding his options.

I am unsure if he will be entitled to Tax Credits as a couple if he is on an Apprenticeship and not a job as such, again something he needs to consider before taking the plunge

I agree with the CAB element of your post, but he is not 'facing' eviction from his home - he is choosing to leave and has asked his mother to facilitate that by writing a letter.

Life changes are stressful, yes, but he is the one failing to pay any board money and asking to move out.

He won't be housed if you don't give him the letter so just write him the letter and he'll be housed.

If he is failing to pay board money, stop feeding him, tell him to go to the launderette with his washing. tell him to buy takeaways cos he isnt paying for any electric to cook etc with.

You are allowing him to not pay his way, so he will keep on doing it.
He'll have to learn in the big wide world he has to pay his way.
And like the other poster says, he is choosing to leave he is not being evicted. But again, you are bailing him out by lying. Because you have done as he has asked you.

Just put up with him. He's your kid, your problem. If you kick him out then he becomes society's problem and we just can't take any more problems.

I am aware he was asking for eviction. I didn't word my reply properly. If I was in the OP's position (which I hope I never am as it must be extremely difficult) the advice I gave was what I would do under the circumstances.

Why not kick him out and refuse to write the letter? As at the moment I cannot see why you would do anything else for this aggressive, demanding person - son or not.
