Yes, the council of your area has an obligation to house you if you have not intentionally made yourself homeless. Unfortunately there has been no programme of council house building for well over a quarter of a century and coupled with the fact that occupiers of council properties have the right to buy, your chances of ever being offered a council home are becoming more and more of a very long term event.
If you plan wisely and take some responsibility for your own life, you may well be on the way to being able to get a mortgage by the time you get offered a council property!

hi Jamie, The aerial would have already been up once you first moved into your position in spite of the indisputable fact that the percentages are that between the previous tenants were given it erected on the roof because it really is somewhat not likely that councils provide and look after those of their rented properties. it truly is your duty, no longer the councils. both you will get an aerial erector in to regulate it or of route get them to slot a clean and extra as a lot as this aspect one. they're going to make certain that your aerial is pointing contained in the right route to get carry of the suitable signal. i'm afraid although that this would must be done at your own price.

Probably not. Council housing is prioritised for people who are vulnerable AND on very low incomes AND who EITHER have some local connection OR are in another category where the state assumes responsibility (leaving care, refugee).

Why you havent said for what reason. If you are on your own and single they dont always do that unless you are homeless and have no money and then also you still have to wait. They put people with children first on top of the list of priorities who are homeless and less fortunate, but no harm in trying and asking you never know your luck - if you dont ask you dont receive

no! get a job and support yourself and family as you should be doing! unless there are circumstances beyond your control to enable you to work, then you will asked to present yourself before a medical board to decide if your eligible for the council to house you

If you are disabled, vulnerable, or a parent with children of school age, then yes, they have a duty of care but otherwise it is a long wait on the list.
