Housing Benefit
48 Answers
Hi All, I find myself in the horrible position of splitting up with my partner of 18 years (not married, but we have a 17 year old beautiful daughter). We live in a house which I own and I also own a Holiday Cottage nearby (also all in my name, deeds, mortgage etc), this has been rented out for about a year now. My partner wants to move into this and rent it from me for a commercial rent. My daughter will probably live between the 2 properties. Is it possible for my partner to claim housing benefit as she wont be earning enough to cover the rent?

and SJ wins !
getting back to the thread
can he rent a house they have never lived in to an ex partner ?
SJ - he thay - Yes
and so do I - I asked my expert who sits on a housing association board as a tenants rep and she said clearly that she thought he could. ( she is always right I might add )
and as for all the fol-de-rol about giving advice which turns out to be unlawful - the fault really lies with the fellow actually DOING it - we all have a right to free(ish) speech and that of course means the freedom to say things people dont exactly like

// it matters not that other responses make no sense if those misleading posts are removed.// god you can say that again - especially if they dont make much sense when the answers are present.
Hasnt anyone realised that advice that the usual suspects cluck "oo that is awful and unlawful! Remover it!" - actually may NOT be unlawful. and might even be a teentsy bit relevant
anway the answer (appears to be) / is that he can let a house to an expartner that they have never lived in before.

That may be so Naomi, but I would suggest that anyone who takes legal advice from this site is very naive. Solicitors/Lawyers are well trained and well paid for what they do - why would you ask advice from a complete stranger?
