Housing Support Forum

(I'm a minor so I don't know a lot about any of this stuff. I know I'm probably an idiot. My parents don't know how to use online forums so I'm doing it for them.) This is my parents' first time trying to sell a house. The agent recommended one price, which they thought was a little high compared to other houses in the neighborhood that have sold. They settled on a...

My uncle (eary 80s) bought my condo for me, to prevent me from living on the streets. He has acted as my landlord since that itme. My sister (mid-50s) has largely taken over for him. I would like for him to stop taking on so many commitments (to other people, more than me) but he insists. He thinks that if he doesn't oversee and administer repairs, that things will go wrong. Both of them rese...

Should we move out of the country to somewhere more full of life? It’s a quiet place we live in and it’s a nice house we are in but so quiet and sleepy. The high street doesn’t have many shops left after a lot closing down. There’s a few pubs and places to eat but not loads to choose from. Compared to some places it’s a sleepy place to live and there’s a mixture of young and old ...

My sister and I are both in college living in a dorm right now. We are trying to decide on where to live but our University does not have the best of options. We want to live in a two bedroom apartment so that we can have it to ourselves and never have to worry about who is over or trying to have some alone time. The apartments associated with the University are super expensive for two bedroom so ...

Hello, just wondering what others think. Sorry this will be long. Waited many years to move to a new residence. Found a place. Great suburb. Gated & safe community. Rent we can afford. Passed the first interview. They said the community would be delighted to have us. Then invited us to a second interview to meet the people & property Manager/Owner. Down came the guillot...

I live in a small flat with a neighbour above. Our walls are thin. Several times a week after he returns from work, he begins a speakerphone conversation with his family and friends which I can clearly hear in my living room and kitchen. This will usually last from about 4:15pm until around 9:30pm. He conducts most of the conversation by his open window (even in the coldest weather). This makes me...

Our relationship started to breakdown ew held it together untill our youngest had reached 16 at which poit I decided with my partners agreement that We were no ...

I really need some advice please. Our neighbours moved in about 4 years ago. We’ve had balls kicked over our back garden fence every now and then from the beginning which, although annoying, wasn’t really a problem. Now the 2 youngest boys are older, they kick harder and higher resulting in many balls coming over each week. Recently they knocked a plant, twice in the same week, destroy...

After reading posts from other forums about bad neighbors, I realize that my problem isn’t really a big one at all. It has been bothering me though, so I would like to share. My husband and I, both 40, moved from a suburban neighborhood to a rural neighborhood in September of 2020. Before we actually moved in, we had to completely replace the dilapidated fence that was around the yard b...

My name is Alicia, I am 32 years old. I dont have much to show for my life's accomplishments. I was convicted of a felony charge 8 years ago and am currently drawing an SSI check. It doesnt pay much, just my car insurance. I am currently stuck living with a man i want to leave. I cant leave because he's the only shelter and support ive got. He is mean to me, controlling, and unloving, bu...

Neighbour has assaulted me . He won't back off. Feeling constantly scared to go out as he is always hanging around. Police not helping,talking out of question. Any ideas appreciated ? ...

We’ve been together 5 years and life is very easy together. Sometimes it feels too plain if that makes sense. He would do almost anything for me and I fully trust him. Sometimes I just wish he made me laugh and shared stories with me and then I feel guilty cause he is so nice/ I’ve always wanted someone loyal. Laughing is such an important part to me and it’s so easy to make me laugh but...

My husband and I just got married in early November 2019. We bought a house in April of 2019 and were fixing it up every day until recently when we finally completed all the larger projects. At the end of October 2019, about a week or two before our wedding, my now husband's best man, who he has been good friends with since they were 5 years old, calls him to meet up because he has some i...

I posted on here a while back asking for advice on my boyfriend and I took you guys' words into consideration. I deserve alot better than that. Now that I have left, I'm not sure what to do. Because of the relationships I have burned all bridges with anyone that would help and I have no family. (I came from a small family, single child. Parents are deceased.) I have reached out to the ...

I'm not the best at writing so please bear with me. I live at my mothers apartment and visit my dad's every other weekend. I would much rather live at my dad's but there's only two bedrooms and I don't feel comfortable with sharing a room with my brother. There's nothing wrong with my mom's apartment or her at all, it's just the city it's in. It'...

I would like advice of if I should move out and what the best option is? Should I rent with a friend, go into a share house or put deposit on house. im 22 , still living with mum to save up for my future , but it’s the constant cycle of her and I fighting, it’s her way or no way, she doesn’t see any one else point of view, she emotinal abuses me it’s a negative environment she doesn’t...

Let me start by writing the following, I’m not the perfect son, I did a lot of mistakes and to my knowledge I tried to fix and/or apologise for what I did. I’ve always been a happy bloke but recently I’ve been feeling like crap. I’m on the verge of letting lose on some kind of drug or else just flat out runway. I don’t know how to help myself. So, my mom is a workaholic and I n...

Me and my boyfriend live in a 3 room building, each room has their own kitchen and we all only share the bathroom with each other. we rent 2 room and another girl lives with us. This girl and I became super close when she moved in in 2016 and I've been guiding her and helping her around. Since around the end of 2017, she has been cancelling plans or not very into the friendship anymore, but...

My mother almost never makes good decisions. Like she married a man who was a mean con artist who didn't have much money. And even after he got a decent paying job, we were still poor because of him always wasting the money on stuff like gambling. My mother did have a good paying job until she quitted it. The reason for her quitting it is just because her ex husband wanted her to quit jus...

Is home refinancing a good option while undergoing home renovation?...

I have lived with my bf and his mother since June of 2017 when I turned of legal age. I lived with them ever since I could move out of my own house because of the emotional abuse from my stepdad, and my mom is never home because she works two jobs, one night job and one day job, and she is a nurse so she is NEVER home so I basically lived with my stepdad and his mom and my half sister. All 3 of th...

So, I'll try to keep this short. About 3 years ago, my sister and I moved to AZ to build our business. Coming from the expensive parts of California, we needed to save money and expand our living spaces so we have room to grow our business inventory. AZ housing is very inexpensive and beautiful. We've been here for the last 3 going on 4 years. A situation happened with our immedi...

Recently I've been wanting to move into another apartment, but had to put the idea firmly on the back-burner for now. It seems like a slight stretch financially, and something I would need more time to prepare for. Since then, a co-worker of mine suggested the possibility or me moving in with him in his house. He has some roommates already but could use the extra cash, and knows I'm...

I don't know what is the issue with me, my husband and circumstances. All the time I remain irritated, not ready to face any changes. One issue I am facing due to change of location due to my husband job, due to family my husband change the place, now I am the one who have to deal with everything my family, my job, my small baby, inlaws, and the place we are right now is filled with numerous ...

I moved in with my best friend of 21 years in April. I have had a health issue since last October which required surgery. I thought it was all sorted but the issue has unfortunately come back and I needed another operation in August. My job contract is a zero hour contract so I do not get paid for sick leave from work. I have struggled the past few months financially because of this but am getting...

I am 24 and a really hard worker, I grew up with an abusive father until he ran away when I was 10, Since then I have lived with my mother and her boyfriend whom she met when I was 12 and my twin sister, until 2 years ago when my sister moved in with his boyfriend with whom she had a kid. We lived in a relatively large apartment, which was infact a gift to my mother from her mother, I haven't...

Hey guys (Mainly The Uk) as this will apply. So me and my partner have put forward an application after a viewing for a low income housing property. The requirements states that household income needs to be between £15,000-£30,000 per annum. Our salaries together will come to around £34,000. But that's before Tax and NI. As well as deductions. Will this be a problem? Thank-you! ...

Hey so I'm really desperate and looking for answers. I'm 21 about to be 22 and I'm still in college finishing my last year of pre-reqs before I head off to my program which I have yet to be accepted into or applied for yet. I lived away from home for 3 years and in that time period experienced really intense depression due to realizing I wasn't cut out for my dream major in m...

So my sister and I recently moved with roommates, a friend of my step-sisters to babysit for 2 years. Now they paid for our tickets and set our room. We don't have to pay for rent either. They desperately needed a babysitter so we both agreed. Our roommates work in the military, given it means they will be busy. However it's taking a toll on me. I have complaints but not sure if I should...

Moved to a 2 bed flat in Torquay and realise we have made a big mistake. We have always lived in a house and I can't adjust to a flat not can my husband. It's a house with 3 flats in it. We moved because we wanted to get away from where we lived because of neighbours and the house was to big with the kids leaving home. We Kepted looking at houses and nothing was what we wanted and we wen...

Me and my husband are in our early twenties. We have been married for 3 years. We have a one year old son. We bought our first house two years ago and was doing very well financially. When I was pregnant I lost my job at a bank due to job cuts, and my husband works in construction so he got laid off due to no work, so we went through our savings trying to make due with bills. We don't have an...

When I was a child , life was perfect compared too now. I moved out of my moms house because of some drama and now I live with my dads. I can move out because of my age I'm 18 but I can't because I'm still in high school. My life is hell because of the people I live with. I want to like them but I can't. The way I'm treated is horrible. Their vain , mean , and tho...

A rather complicated problem here. My boyfriends (adams) parents have been living in their house for over 20 years, and there is now a serious problem with the new neighbours. They have been complaining about the amount of noise Adams parents are making. Now these people are in their mid 60's and they do not make a peep of noise. Now the evil neighbours house has no carpets, due to th...

I'm a female and I live with two male roommates, one of which is a ex. Yea I know it sounds messy but I'm living with him so I can save money, finish many last year of school, and not leave the city I'm currently in yet. At first I was willing to leave since I didn't have a job and I didn't know anyone that could've housed me until I get back on my feet. So he offered...

Me and my sister feel like my mom and step dad doesn't recognised us as a daughter instead just a live in maid. We do all the household and even take care of everything they need and their son. Their son really disrespect us especially me. And sometimes they do something about it but sometimes they just act like they dont hear it. I don't know what to do. I can't even open it up wit...

I live next door to a dirty neighbour and want to know who to contact about the litter, cigarette stumps and weeds at the side of there house. They have a little garden and they dont care how it looks and they have only been living there three months. They rent privately but have a different landlord to me. I have contacted the council but they said they be able to help but if it is unsightly they...

Backstory: My mom died in March 2014, a couple months before I graduated high school. She owned a house but I've still had to make mortgage payments. She didn't have a will. I've had a job at the local library since the beginning of that school year, so 2.5 years now, 10 hours a week. The house is a duplex, and my mom had a renter on the other side. He had been paying rent to hel...

I have an uncle that I've only met once in person(he was in the military). however, I do occasionally FaceTime with him and his wife. My uncle and my mother are very close, so he can't be a horrible person. I was actually supposed to move in with him 2 years ago with my grandmother, unfortunately, she passed before we could move. since I started college, my grandma has been trying to get...

I don't know what to do? I have lived at my flat for three years and although I am hypersensitive to noise (partly to do with my aspergers) and I have loved living here. In March 2015 I had a romanian family move with 2 children and from time to time they were ok but in October I have noticed the children getting loud (three year old and a baby) running around as there living room is in a con...

Hi, I am married 2 years ago with a year old kid now. I had evil in-laws torturing me mentally and physically wer in I filed a case against them after 6 months of my marital life. That time I had 5 months of pregnancy too. My husband never stood by me nor he is bothered about my self respect or dignity. He is a great actor acting silent at my worst situations of my life. And later blaming me that ...

Sparing you of the boring details, in an nutshell I need to live in NY in the summer and NJ in the winter. Given that there is no way around this, please let me know if you can think of any "pointers" to make this happen. I am severely sick & disabled, so I can't work; my fiance works. Any tips for him to find a job in NY for this summer? He works 2 jobs that have locati...

I like to think of myself as a good person, a moral person. But my current living situation is testing me. I live with my girlfriend in the Bronx. She works at a hospital, while I work and go to school in Manhattan. I love her, and are relationship is fantastic. We have a decent place in a good neighborhood. I'm happy with her there. Things got complicated this past December. A classmat...

Here is the story in short: I bought a new house late last year. I was lonely, so I looked for people to come and share the house with me, preferably people I already knew so that I would be more comfortable. Two other acquaintances were already in the market for a new place to live. I offered for them to come live with me for awhile. One took me up on the offer; the other is still weighi...

So as the title states I am indeed facing eviction soon, next month in December to be precise. My landlord unfortunately has been unable to pay his mortgage and as a result me and my mother are being evicted. We were never able to pay the landlord in the first place, being four months behind in rent, but my mom paid what she could and I suppose that the landlord thought it was suffice? Any who, no...

I have left my own home as partner who moved in in March wont leave. Told him to leave by the 22nd. I dont think he will leave and it looks as if he had either lost his job (would of got the sack if they found out he is drinking at work) or he may of just left and wont leave house. I would of changed the locks on the 24th but if he is in the house how can i. I need my home back so what can i do. ...

Hello!! This is my first time posting here. I came to seek advice about a current living situation. Here's the scoop: on June 1st, I went from sharing a bedroom with a close, dear friend to a 3-bedroom duplex with my friend I'd just been living with and another friend of ours. After about three months of living together it became apparent to me that our new living partner-- lets call her...

Where to start... I am in college and live with three other students. We started living together freshman year, and have gotten pretty close. I guess I should mention that I'm a serious introvert, and my roommates have become my closest friends. I would be really lonely if I didn't live with them. However, there have always been problems. One roommate has a very Type A personality; she c...

My boyfriend and I have been together for about 6 months. I am 22, he is 21. We live 4 hours away from each other as I am at university while he has a full time job in the town where he lives. We met online, and it was very unexpected. That's why I was very understanding of the fact that he still lived with his ex-girlfriend. They had been together for almost 3 years prior to us meeting. He t...

As of lately I haven't been feeling the same way I have felt about my boyfriend when he first met, at first everything was great, you know those feelings. We been together for 3 years now, I let him move in with me into my mother's house. Now I found a sublet studio apartment, once after January comes I want to offically move out into a space that's mine. NYC is a very expensive are...

So I am currently single and living with three other roommates. Two of which are married to each other. The other roommate is a gorgeous, funny, all around amazing girl that I have had a crush on since I moved in over a year ago. Last year we all went to an overnight event with alcohol involved and the two of us got pretty drunk. That night we shared a bed and I tried to make a move but she obviou...

my boyfriend and i have been dating for 4 years now. we will both be 20 this year. i brought up the idea of moving in together and he got really upset about it with me. why wont he? do you think i should be as upset about it as i am? advice please!...

These people have no interests, plans, activities or fun. Listening to and criticising me from next door uses up all their time and energy, day and night. Their age 80. The man is the most negative and exaggerates any error or any items he can find to belittle me. Examples: 'she drops a lot','she didn't think of that', 'she drinks alcohol all day', 'she ...

Ever since I was a teen I've been struggling to keep a roof over my head. My parents fell ill and passed when I became a young adult. My house got foreclosed and I was in a shelter. To make a long story short I've been in an apartment,house again (with roommates), trailer home (with roommates), then couch jumping. Was living out in the streets with my husband for a year. Did a work for r...

Hi all, I am a 23 year old Australian woman. I also work as a fill in teacher for local schools around my hometown. This is my first year teaching. Anyway, on coming back to my hometown, I decided at the beginning of the year that I'd like to invest in a property- not renting but buying (This being my first ever major/housing purchase). Thus having an investment property for the future...

Apparently, house prices are beginning to come down (or have at least flattened out). I suggest you wait 6 months, and see what happens to the market. Keep an eye on the press, and look at market forecasts. If you visit www.fool.co.uk (the Motley Fool), you will come across some useful information. If you need to save money for a deposit, you can also use their website to locate some of the best s...
