I had a flat with my job and when the company got took over they kicked me out my flat, i had furnised it myself. I went to the council and asked for some help as i was going to be homeless in a week! They said i am not 'homeless' it doesnt matter that i didnt have a home, i am just not homless as i dont have kids, i dont have a disabilty, i am not a migrant etc etc :mad: (these are actual real reasons they give u!!!) | |

TBF, there are more important people than a 17 year old to give council houses to. Just because you don't earn enough for a mortgage, doesn't mean you deserve a place - you're young and will likely be on a much better wage in a few years. quote: Not exactly paying through the nose is it though, just what 99% of us have to do. Its not like the council tenants are getting themselves anywhere either, not putting money towards a mortgage - earning themselves equity. [Edited on 31-01-2008 by aPk] | |

Unless your an immigrant or of "non white origin" and have about 10 kids and no job...you dont have a chance im afrid, the system is a joke, its easy for the scum to get houses, decent hard working people have to get a mortgage and pay through the nose for it *rant over* | |

i was a council tenant for 6 years, it was a lot easier then than what it is these days, i dont know how the councils work where you are, but where i am you have to bid for your houses and the person with more needs get the house. | |
