I am fed up having no where to live. I was made homeless at 13 and in and out of foster care. Now I am 31 and am FORCED to live in a house share full of druggies, there is no ventilation and i am FORCED to breath in class a drug smoke every night, even though I have never taken drugs in my life. I feel frightened to use the bathroom cos its shared. I unable to use the kitchen.
I have Autism, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and C-PTSD and I will soon be getting Enhanced Daily Living and Standard Mobility PIP. But, NONE of that matters cos I can't find a place to live. and the pure evil local council here refuse to help with housing. I am living in Neath, Wales and I am from Hull, England. So clearly I am being discriminated here in Wales for being English.
HOW are people who are former care leavers and live a solitary life meant to get a guarantor for a ONE BEDROOM. I might as well end my life at this point.
HMO or House Shares should be 100% ILLEGAL, its PURE MENTAL ABUSE to live in such a place to share one bathroom with FIVE RANDOM people you don't know, they might have diseases, its absolutely disgusting. SHAME ON UK for allowing such places to exist.
NAS86192 said:HMO or House Shares should be 100% ILLEGAL
I strongly disagree with this. For NT (well over 90% of the population) they are not an issue for those who need cheaper accommodation.
I've used them in the past when I was early in my career and while they are far from perfect, they offer an accessible and flexible way to work in one region of the country where I don't have a home.
Please do not try to cancel what is a perfectly useful service because of your bias.
I agree. It's made my mental health suffer tremendously. And for th council to tell you you have to stay there forever aswell should be completely illegal.
However a foreign person gets housed immediately
