So I’m at the point that’s I can’t bare it anymore, he won’t leave and I just don’t want to live in the conflict and walking on eggshells. I need to get out and have been desperately trying to rent somewhere. I have a job and spoke to welfare rights so I know that I should be able to claim benefits support. I am going to be struggling with income proof however as I don’t currently get the benefits or maintenance and so on so currently in despair on how I’ll be able to get a private rental this way. (Been to check whether I could get a mortgage this week and had the same issue there)
Has anyone done this and secured another place to live?
I don’t want to go down the refuge route, I just want to keep disruption to a minimum and step out to another home. TIA -
Hello Drawingsonthewall,
I just wanted to offer some suggestions for services that might be useful to be aware of in terms of the situation you’ve described.
Shelter are a housing rights and homelessness charity. They have a helpline where they can offer advice on housing issues: https://www.shelter.org.uk/
Turn2Us are a financial support and advice service, they can advise around benefits, grants and financial issues: https://www.turn2us.org.uk/
I’m sure other users will also have some advice to offer you.
Take care and keep posting,

Hi
How are you getting on? I want to rent privately (I have enough savings to do this) but I am retired with no income. I am very isolated and have no friends or family to act as guarantor. This feels almost insurmountable to be, and nobody seems to be able to offer me any real hope. I will have to have already left before I can find somewhere and am terrified I will end up “stuck”.
I’d love to hear from somebody who has done this.
