Desperate to leave my dads house, advice please thanks.

Beat the sh1t out of him and tell him your the daddy now

But in all seriousness I lived with my dad for over a year, was a nightmare, I wasn't allowed to use leccy, couldnt use the tumble dryer, or have the t.v on at the same time as the laptop lol If I left a light on for more than about 2 minutes he went mental

Would like to thank everyone for the advice and comments, have taken everything on board. Applied for council homing yesterday. Thanks again people! :)

Best of luck mate.

i would have told the council you were made homeless, they would have to put you in a bedsit/bnb untill they had a flat for you rather than having to bid each week for the next 20 years

Sound like a nightmare, best of luck mate!

Hmmm that's a difficult one, the only thing I can suggest is to go down the council offices in person and explain the situation and your finances. They have a duty of care to house you. As you haven't made your self homeless as no one could be expected to deal with that.

I take it confronting your dad is not an option? I know a lot of people wouldn't confront him in their situation for me he'd be going down the stairs father or not.

Not if you're childless and not 'vulnerable' (disabled, mental health problems etc). Havent since Mrs Thatch did away with that in the 80's...

 
ditto this. Ive been in this situation of nowhere to live and unable to afford to rent. As a single person was told the you will be in for a long long wait on council housing list. Best bet is a bedsit or flatshare. Thats what i did. 

I can't help you mate but some good advice in here
 
 just wanted to say mucho respect for having a tortoise, I'd love one, thinking about getting one of the little blighters 

Can you not just go back to you mothers? IIRC you moved out as you didnt like her new boyfriend?

I'd say flatshare just to get yourself started mate, as long as they allow tortoise's!

Nothing to add, but best of luck mate. Sounds like an awful situation!

If you find some were that don't allow pets am on the tortoise market lol.... Hope your get sorted mate.

Adum

Check with them what their current waiting list is mate (they wont necessarily tell you if you dont ask)
 
Its not unusual for it to be 20 years plus (more in London) - and they've no obligation to put you in temp accomodation in the meantime unless you have children or are mentally/physically disabled...  which is a looong time o be living with your dad waiting...
 
Unless they say different, dont just register with the council and then hope they come up with somewhere - you'll have to be a lot more proactive than that
 
 

What Tac you mean tell them he's got a wooden leg, Asthma and a bad back?
