I'd be interested in knowing where in the U.K. this HA conversion is ( not city specific but England, Wales etc)
The company I work for is involved in alot of HA buildings & have never heard of a HA being involved in a conversion0 -
I don't think this thread is bullying, original poster is asking for help without providing all the information. There is always frustration with complaints about social housing as most people on here either pay for private rentals which are often in a worse state (with crap landlords) or give up so much to buy a house often with many flaws.
OP you have one of the best landlords possible. Speak to them instead of getting frustrated on here.An answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......0 -

All the information needed is in the original post.
Why is a room which is below legal minimum size allowed to be classified as a bedroom and how to challenge THAT. Nothing else.1 -

There is a LOT of conversions under various HA in London.1 -
But there isn't a legal minimum as you are not in a HMO. So that is why people are asking your motive.An answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......0

You've never asked a question about social housing have you? Neither have I, nor would I.0 -
You just have moved this person in fairly recently as you lived on your own in Feb. They will have known the room size when they got "legally put on the tenancy" so if what you say is true you won't have any argument with the HA https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5960460/single-vegan-food-buddies-wantedAn answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......0

That is your interpretation of things.
How people have time to go through old threads and assume they know anything is quite interesting...
The question is not about how many people live where.
The question is how can a room of size under legal limit be classified as a bedroom.
There is nothing else to it so save your time... as whatever you "dig out" your assumptions are not going to be correct...
There is so many reasons when someone may live temporarily away from home but my personal life is not for display here despite everyone wanting to dig into it one way or another and assuming whatever they want - keep going, keep assuming.
The question is about a size of a room being below legal limit to be called as/classified as a bedroom. Nothing else matters. It is about one room/its size and classification. That is all there is to it.0 -

It takes even less to work out people's old username and dig out those posts but why would I bother?
People are just nosy asking questions that are not relevant to the topic, "digging" through old posts which again are not relevant to the topic.
