Hi all,

I and my 2 kids have been living in my partners house with him for 4 years. Trouble is, I feel like a lodger, we have no security or rights. I pay him £500 plus TV and internet, and food.I have mentioned this to my partner but he doesn't get it /or is bothered. So I'm trying desperately to save some money for a rent deposit but i doubt i will be able to afford to rent a house for us privately as my wage won't cover it. What can I do?

Apply for social housing?
Fill out your local council form and then harass, bother, annoy, question, apply for anything suitable that’s available.

Is the issue that you no longer want to live there or that you no longer want to be in the relationship?

Has the arrangement changed in the last four years or is it that it hasn't moved on as you expected?

If you want to find somewhere of your own have you looked into what housing benefit etc you may be entitled to so that you know what you can look for?
