    This is a very common occurrence in social housing. Maybe the stability of a new home encourages reconciliations!

    If domestic abuse is an issue here, the HE should make social services aware, so as to ensure the safety of the woman and most importantly the children.

    The OP literally states she wants him to move back in! How is it unreasonable to say move back in with the bloke?

    She is not entitled to have her fella living with her in a place where only she is on the tenancy and it was granted to house her and her son.

    I missed the line about wanting him to move in.

    None of us know whether or not she's entitled to have him move in as we haven't seen her tenancy agreement.

    It's perfectly fine for someone to move in with someone in social housing and not go on the tenancy, as long as the landlord gives permission. When I had a partner move in with me I made sure he didn't go on the tenancy.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Well considering the HA are complaining they think he lives there and she is panicking, I doubt her tenancy says 'move whoever you want in...'

    She's broken the rules by not asking permission, that doesn't mean she can't have someone move in.

    Although by her account the OP hasn't broken any rules as he hasn't stayed over.

    Perhaps she was pregnant before she left the partner?
