Housing options. Legally homeless

StrugglingApprentice

Now if i quit the job before i start, go back to the housing office, claim jsa and housing benefit i will get somewhere. Ive only got the car because i worked hard in my old job and i fixed it instead of letting the previous owner scrap it.

1 million percent id rather have a roof over my head than a job. When i got evicted the previous landlord returned everything to sender, bank account got frozen leaving me with nothing.

What caused the arguement was me working. He got annoyed that i sometimes didnt know my working hours as overtime happened at a moments notice and before you know it im coming in after midnight.

Apparently this shows "no consideration for him or his family" and that it had to stop or id be finding somewhere else to live.

Essentially, the choice was keep the job and lose my home or lose the job and lose the home when i couldnt pay rent.

So i lost the home then lost the job instead. Lovely.

It sounds like you need to find lodging with people who would be more understanding about working unsociable hours.

You do sound down, and a bit bitter. But the best antidote is to roll your sleeves up and get on with it. Yes, there are people who look like they have it easy, but do they really?

You are right. In my mind ive been stung too many times. I despise the idea that a disagreement can result in being homeless, depending on the landlord.

Some people do have it easy. Especially people still living with their parents lol its so easy to get on if youve got stability. Without that, going nowhere it seems.

It's not what you want to hear, but you're 24, you're about to start a new job, you've got a car. We all have to start somewhere, and we all put up with some things to get started in life. I bet you look back in a couple of years and find you've travelled far from this start.

I'm glad you don't work for The Samaritans.
