What to do

[Statshine]

So, I stupidly got into another relationship after fleeing my last one.
Same situation again.
I am a reasonably high earner with no children and a dog. credit rating is shot thanks to both relationship.
How do I leave?
I could give up my job but then would struggle to find another one.
I can’t rent somewhere else (my name is still on the tenancy for the first relationship as we ran up arrears paying for all his wants) I don’t have any rights to where I am loving now it’s his property.
Will I get help to find another rental? I knownthe council do rental schemes could I do that?
