Donnie C

I've been given the section 21.

We have to leave our home.

2 months notice, just me and my 5-year old.

2 months is not enough time. With the collapse of the rental market and non-existent savings due to low income, what am supposed to do?

Where does everyone go when they are facing the same situation?

Council housing have no properties.

Housing associations have no properties.

Private renting is asking for £200 more than what I am paying, and they're in areas I cannot consider because they're either dangerous or somewhere where I will have no support.

I need help and I have nowhere to turn to.

The collapse of the rental market needs addressing. What are we going to do.... I'm in a living nightmare.

😡
