zarf2007 - I don't know what you mean - do you think I make life hard for myself? If so, I am inclined to say you're right. something has been terribly off with me recently... I think it has been with all the crap at work. im trying to sort myself out.


bitter and twisted - thank you. well a couple of months ago we asked the LA if we could leave our tenancy early to move into our house when the vendor was going to move out. they agreed and started advertising - we agreed to pay. since then we have had numerous people come round and we were told one of the couples was going to apply to rent the house. I asked if, since our circumstances have changed, could we stay and we were told no. we haven't signed anything but there is an email to say we are happy to leave early and will pay the fees. obviously we didn't intend for this to happen but to leave our rental property too, and next month albeit late next month, is going to give us more than a bit of a headache.

Not this again. She comes across in the first post as some hard done by person who lost her job whilst buying a house when in fact she quit her job and is now scouring the internet for sympathy. Losing your job generally means that it was through no fault of your own. You just walked away from your job.

yeah lets look at the alternatives to buying:

1) social housing - live on a noisy sink estate surrounded by chav's partying all night and trashing your house/garden
2) private renting - pay a fortune to idiot BTL landlords who decorate a property on a shoestring, kick you out every six months if you complain or they decide to sell, letting agents ripping you off with fees, having to pay cleaning/moving/deposits constantly....

gee sign me up...

Social housing doesn't necessarily mean that you end up on a sink estate surrounded by chavs, or neds as we call them this side of the border.

My brother and his family have just got a nice, newly refurbished, council flat surrounded by other families in a nice area. The rent is much cheaper than if they rented privately and they have a secure tenancy.

Since you have negotiated an early surrender, you need to move out of your exisitng property.

If you do not the landlord is entitled to charge penalty rent - twice the normal amount each month or part of a month.

Bear in mind that if you stay one day (technically one minute) after the agreed end date of the tenancy, you have to pay for the whole month.

You need new digs urgently. Anyone with whom you can stay for a while?

I would use your gardening leave to de-clutter like mad and house hunt.

thanks ras - so there's absolutely nothing we can do?





we can probably find somewhere to stay but we may need to not be together for a bit as his parents can't get us both in and my friend says I can stay with her.


gardening leave, yes ha I guess that's what it is.

You have no idea why the OP had to leave her job so stop jumping to conclusions and stop reading the thread if all you can do is spout poison.

Thank you Suzie , it's not often you get people sticking up for you, particularly on forums. I really appreciate this.
