I was surprised to see your pic Melly and how different you look already you must feel a weight has been lifted. I admire you and how far you have come in a short time you know the support you have from long time followers and I hope it’s a comfort to you. Please remember to update us on your new happy life and maybe even start a new thread of your exciting escapades.....xx

Furious
Housing association will not remove me from the tenancy

Phone Shelter - there may be limits on what the HA can do without a court process unless everyone on the tenancy agrees.
Were you on a periodic tenancy? If so you can give notice without the other person having to agree.

Don't panic Ms Mainwaring.......I'm sure you can sort this out, do you have any house ins? Sometimes there is a legal helpdesk you can call. xx (and then cancel it, you don't live there lol......)

Got some numbers to call this afternoon 
Could have done without it though

You could try ringing Citizens Advice (England) Mel.

03444 111 444. 9-5 Mon-Fri.

If you call from a mobile they ask you to enter a local landline number. That can be any in your area. It's just to identify your area so they can send your call to a local adviser if one is available.

Or you can talk online.

I don't suppose you had a chance to grab any paperwork with leaving in a hurry. But as you've spoken to the HA you need to ask them to update the tenancy. I don't know if it's fixed period or rolling , that's something you need to ask.

I was pants with clothes but I remembered tenancy agreement, marriage certificate, birth certificate and passport.

You've got all you need then. Is it fixed or rolling? Worth reading all the terms and conditions and any small print.

If it is joint tenancy you will be liable for 50% of the rent until you get your name off the tenancy.

What did the HA say when you tried to talk to them? I'd contact Citizens advice or another help agency if you haven't already.

You do need to cut any financial ties with the ex. No idea if he's ok at paying his share of bills but at the moment if he stops paying his share it could impact your credit history. If you can get off the Tenancy it's up to him if he sinks or swims.

Check that agreement carefully, there may be a break clause although that's more common with private landlords.

Have you asked the HA to amend and update the tenancy? What did they say when you contacted them to let them know you'd left?

If you haven't already searched their website there may be some useful info there.

Sory for all the questions but it's important to get the issue resolved asap.

It's assured shorthold 
They are writing to me to explain 
Solicitors may be able to help as part of my divorce
They are well aware of the situation they reffered me to social services following a risk assessment. 

Been talked down by my mate, it cha ges nothing, I am safe, I have a roof, food and lots of support

Well hopefully that will make things easier from the point of sorting the tenancy.

Have you had a chance to think of any bills that may either be in joint names or just yours that involve the property?

Your friend is right. You are out of that nightmare and free. That's precious . Your friend sounds very supportive. Count your blessings Mel and keep going forward.
