Firstly id like to say my situation in brief and then elaborate further and explain the reasons why we need the help. Myself and my partner are on the verge of becoming homeless. Our landlord didnt extend our tenancy when the 12 months ran out in January and since then he has been seeking eviction proceedings against us we tried explaining the minute we find somewhere to move to we will be gone but he lacks any form of empathy and morals. Ive recently been clinically diagnosed with iga nephropathy (bergeurs disease) and also suffer with R.L.S and E.U.P.D I used to be a self employed window cleaner and built and maintained a very good round but had to give all that up when my health took a turn for the worst. The current situation is now having a detrimental effect on my health and the health of my partners. Weve been on the councils bidding list for over 9 months and have messaged many private landlords and when that failed estate agents but all the barriers that are there are physically stopping us from being able to find a home. The main barriers are that we do not have any form of guarantor, i myself was estranged from my family at 14 and my partners mum passed away from cancer when she was young and the rest of her family arent really excistant. We are now so beyond crisis point. The councils only help is to point you back to the bidding system and advise in the event you do end up homeless to present back to them. My fear is they will say its intentionally homeless due to arrears as since seeking eviction my landlord upped the rent past what the council was paying and now theres arrears of something like £10 a week since january.
So im urgently trying to raise the ammount equivalent to a months rent in preston. Im trying to raise this to help me get the foot in the door at a viewing. So i can say to a landlord i have months rent upfront can get bond scheme for deposit etc. Any help would not go unnoticed and would be highly appreciated. Thankyou so much xx
