Yeah i have.
They're usually pretty good about not wanting to go to court and get their money instead, so if you're only behind on rent then it's inlikely you'll get thrown out.
Just go talk to them, they'll let you set up DD or a way of paying off debts.
If it's ASB or soething else then you're probably not fucked either, but depends on how much the other person is pushing for you to get chucked out. |

Get help, from the CAB and most legal firms give half an hour free advice.
Go tot one, get to know some facts, then go to another and another until you've built up the whole picture 
Hope it all works out for you  |

If that's what your tenancy says then there probably isn't much you can do about it.
As well as CAB, go see Shelter (or email them for advice) coz they're specialists in housing rights. And at least if you don't have the right to succession you probably won't end up homeless with their help. |

Mrs ddc says they're right, she knows a little of this area. Council houses can't be handed down the generations as if they are inheritances, it will be needed for a family on the waiting list. They should offer you whatever your circumstances entitle you to, but that is all, unfortunately.

actually if you google the shelter website you can see some advice right now on succession of tenancy already, there's different rules for before and after April 2012.
i would leave a link to the page but will get a ban for spamming the forums. |

when you say mum was added, do you mean they became joint tenants ?
if so that likely cannot be calssed as succession its joint tenant , speak to cab like said by others , but do not let them tell you , you tell them |

"Under new laws you can only succeed a tenancy ONCE due to the lack of social housing available "
Just try to think of the young, homeless family currently living in a bedsit, desperately waiting for a house to come available. It is very unlikely the council will make the op homeless, but that house could make a real difference to them. |

OP I would firstly complete a housing application as I'm not sure if you are a single person in a 3 bed but if you are you should under the LA's allocation scheme be eligible for under occupancy points as you have a large property. If you have a priority need such as medical health issues, dependants etc you may possibly be accepted as homeless and provided with alternative accommodation. You may wish to speak to your local housing or housing options for further advice or contact shelter who will be able to give you further advice.
Just remember you are able to remain in your property even after the Section 21 has expired and the LA will have to go to court to gets what's called a warrant of eviction, this will then be sent to the Baliffs who will give a date of eviction. You can request a suspension of the possession order and the judge will look at the facts. |

whatever you do dont leave voluntary
first off put your name down for a single place.
show that your willing to downsize for a family to take over the place this gives other options do seek advice as you will need it
you may have to give other areas up to 3 to choose from so choose wisely check your area first before you bid on a property as first bid counts refuse and your dropped back to 2 years on the waiting list, ive been there |

If he agrees with the LA he will grant them possession of the property, if he believes you have a case he will suspend the warrant and possibly ask to return in 28 days after everyone has completed the checks that have been requested. |

"

I get what you are saying - but it has changed and only one succession per tenancy is permitted. They will usually look to rehouse you in an appropriate sized property and normally you have a period of time to leave, but once it gets to the end of that. They will serve a NTQ. There's just such a shortage of housing unfortunately and it's only going to get worse. |

i agree. try the shelter site. they don't just deal with homeless people, they deal with stopping people from becoming homeless. email them if you can't find the help you need on the site, they'll be happy to help you.
although the council say they can't offer you a succession i don't see why they can't just offer you a new tenancy. it's their house and down to their discretion who rents it.
and i wouldn't worry too much about another family needing it, there'll be thousands of other families needing it (including yours) because that's how bad the housing situation is - and has been for decades. |

You have no legal right to the property as the succession has been used but you didn't act in an intentionally way so you have a dependant I would put a homeless application in |

That's exactly right, succession is only allowed once, you need to find somewhere else to live. Talk to the council about housing options |

"the council do have the right to allocate the house to us "
No they don't just because you and your wife have split, doesn't entitle you to a 3 bed. The thing is that if they give you a tenancy and you and your wife make things up, you've then an extra bedroom you don't need and maybe that's what the council are looking at, you and your wife have to prove that you are no longer together and by continuing to live in the same house, you are not doing that. So if you move out, she is only a 2 bed need, if she moves out, you are only a 1 bed need |

I got that - however if there were lots more houses etc than required - the councils wouldn't be so stringent. But there aren't - plus they are supposed to be selling their crown jewel properties.
OP- they may help you find a private rental - like others said , get some advice. And keep talking to the council. They may think that if you and your wife have split - one parent can live with your daughter in a 2 bed and the other parent in a 1 bed. Thus releasing the 3 bed for another family who maybe 5 people as it could be a 3 bed 5 person property. It's all about best use of a limited resource - and I know houses have emotional attachments but it's the reality.
