Yay more Fun - Housing Association Rental Repossession

[The Tech Clerk]

Re: Yay more Fun

What I had to do years ago was the following (Actually Happened):-

Landlord got nasty, wanted us out, eventually things got out of hand, only as a last resort did the Housing Office stated you will have to go into B&B for now, as you are both working and daughter is at school you cannot claim assistance, we had to move out after this, as we arrived at B&B a visit from Council guy made sure all was well and then stated now you are in B&B and are under the council instruction, we have to offer you accomodation , the place we will offer will be vacant in 3 - 4 weeks.

4 weeks later we moved into Temporay Accomodation, 9 months later a new Housing Association accomodation was available and we had to take that.

so Housing requirement must be as per their rules. Private you do not stand a chance on social houseing it would seem.

Re: Yay more Fun

I do agree that social housing is by far the best option. I am in private and even when things are wrong you never want to complain "just in case". Val on the other hand spent her last year in a council property and it couldn't have been different. My in laws lived in council as does my OH's mother and although the properties may not be perfect they are assured and for certain problems you get same day visits. Think long and hard

Re: Yay more Fun

Find out whether if you clear the current arrears you'd be entitled to a transfer to another flat on your HA's books because it has a huge portfolio of property You may have to start again with another probationary or starter tenancy but that's not a real problem.

Also what was the reason you became entitled to social housing last July (it's not automatically available to anyone and everyone) and maybe that *need* can be duplicated elsewhere with another housing association. Were you living with parents so it was seen as *overcrowding* or what?

Re: Yay more Fun

We were living with partners adoptive parents and when her adoptive dad got ill and then subsequently passed away we were given an eviction notice from partners adoptive dads brothers that wanted their share in house when he passed away.

Due to income we were unable to go private rental and deemed un-intentionally homeless.

Re: Yay more Fun

You've got loads of time to resolve this situation so let's keep up the research and see what options are open to you. In the meantime you know you're safe in your home until mid January 2013

Yesterday in court probably gave you a bit of a fright but you came out of it better than I expected because 42 days is usually the maximum delay for an eviction after a possession order and not three months. And remember evicting you isn't compulsory for the HA, if you find somewhere to go you can always agree an exit date between yourselves. Eviction only happens when a tenant refuses to budge and the Landlord makes an application to the court for a warrant to throw them out. So try and keep a line of communication open with the HA and you never know what may happen

If you don't pay off your rent arrears I'd say there is no hope of another starter tenancy or a HA transfer or rehousing by your local council. Sorry to be blunt but that's the truth
