Husbands name on council lease if he already owns a house

Danny333

Been together 3 years are living apart. I will move into hers soon
She wants a promise of marriage now. Obviously if we hate each other when we move in that won't happen.

Can anyone answer the main point of the post?

If your name is on tenancy agreement, so marrying someone,who owns house, shouldn't affect it. Likewise inheriting house doesn't affect your tenancy rights.
Have you got Right To Buy? If so, you can exercise it and then you don't have to worry anymore.

The main point if your post will have to be answered by Camden council, only they can tell you if they allow it or not however as I said on your other thread you are morally wrong to do it.

Social housing is there for reason and you are taking the mick wanting to live there and keep your own property. I would understand maybe as a six month trial if you living together but after that you should either sell and buy somewhere together, move into your flat together (her 22 year old daughter may move out on her own then a one bedroom flat wouldn't be an issue) or rent yours out while you privately rent somewhere for you to live together. There are not enough homes for people in need as it is and your own greed shouldn't be a reason to prevent someone in need from having a home.

With that data -camden, both ages, history, plans , council should be able to work out which property this scheme/scam is being lined up for.

If you are a couple, Camden Council would normally expect you to be a joint tenant. If you have another property that you could live in, they'll ask you to give up the tenancy.

Why people keep coming with:" You're depriving someone from house "? If someone has council house , it gives them security, why someone should give it up on it? So, if I buy a house , for bigger price someone else could afford to buy, Am I depriving this person from house to? I'm responsible for my own life and my family's , others can look after themselves.

That makes absolutely no sense.
