Renting a room with a housing association when I get married

If your getting married can!!!8217;t you pool the money together to rent a place together

Yes, we could rent a place together but after being homeless and in care for a couple of years I am somewhat nervous about giving up a lifetime tenancy.

:T that's so heartening to read this.


It's so disappointing when posters are really asking for a way of cheating the system.

I think your best option would be to continue with homeswapper until you find something.

Even if that means post wedding you've not found a swap and you're both squashed in your current property.

Hopefully it wouldn't be for long.

Sounds like the HA have made a reasonable suggestion (though it may not quite suit you). I would keep talking to them. Most HAs are more than landlords, they take on some social responsibility. Most HAs I have known are happy to help find a new place to suit new circumstances.
Good luck.
