Yep. And lose job, family and friends in the process.

Its nothing new I had to move away from family and friends when I got married as hubby and I couldn't afford to rent in the area I grew up in and that was 43 years ago, 5 years later we had to move again as we couldn't afford to buy in the area where we were renting.

You are struggling as all your other threads posted in the last few weeks area about....struggling to afford your rent and needing a Local Authority property...



Edit: in fact post #5 you state you can't afford your rent...

Some people (like me) have full time jobs and this is still not enough to afford renting…

I work from 8:30 until 4pm then do extra jobs until around 6pm, 7pm and sometimes even until 10pm.
Still not enough.

Hmmmm, there's a funny whiff in this room all of a sudden.

But when did I say I think the grass is greener on her side?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe it was your post about her benefits and new car, taking her kids to school even though it was walking distance etc.

Here's a crazy idea that might just work. Try worrying about what happens in YOUR house, rather than what happens in everyone elses. Envy is a very destructive trait.

I struggle to find a LL who will accept me as a tenant despite my clean credit and glowing references.
I can afford but here they have a NO DSS rule and so many applicants to chose from, they won't risk to rent to a single mother in receipt of HB.
So I would need a local authority property when bailiffs come and I still have no where to go because I haven't been accepted, not because I can't afford.

I have a viewing schedule for tomorrow and already asked the LL if he is looking for a long term tenant. If he accepts me, I can move anytime as I have the deposit and rent in advance saved.

I'm pretty sure your daughter won't be able to afford to move out at 18 due to expensive rents either. Surely when she get's a job she'll be able to help you out with the rent & bills.

Which has been answered many times over. In short:

If you cannot afford to live in an area, either live in a more affordable area, or adjust your finances to make that area affordable (ie earn more!).

I can't afford the rent in London (yes London) as a single earner without HB. And this is letting me down when trying to move out to another property.

Then don't live in London.
