Thank you for that information Anonymous, very helpful.
You raise a lot of points that I hadn’t even thought of and I think sorting out housing will be even more complicated than I first thought.
Two of of us were joint named tenants, and the third girl was not on the tenancy at all. She had an agreement where she paid the landlord a separate amount to have the third bedroom.
I know that if I asked, they would provide me with a letter saying that they forced me to leave but I think it’s going to appear to the council that I’ve made myself homeless.
Its all very daunting!!
Like you say, I think I will need to look to live somewhere in the meantime privately.
Thank you for your help x
