Thanks I doubt it, I'm pretty sure that they would view it that you have intentionally made yourself homeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrayFace Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 unless you have priority and maybe more than a 10 yrs wait, you havnt a chance in getting anything, plus as poster said above you may be making yourself homeless so no, but if the landlord is wanting you out then you 'may' qualify for a priority registration, the drawback with priority is that you have to take more or less whats on offer, ie, bid for every property which fits their criteria regarding your circumstances, how many bedrooms you qualify for etc, these could be properties in areas you dont want to live in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 You don't need to re-register if you've ever registered before. I found this out a couple of years ago when I rang them up, and found I had 8 years waiting time from when I was 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonjon Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Someone I know had their tenancy running out so they signed on with the council and got priority and a house 2 weeks later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
