If you are in Scotland, you're stuffed I'm afraid.
In England and Wales, you may have some rights if you have been living with your girlfriend for two years or more and have proof of such (such as utility bills with both your names on, bank statements etc). In such cases the law recognises such relationships as common-law marriage and that may give you some rights. Check with your local Citizens' Advise centre.
Good luck mate!

You can speak to the Housing Officer for the relevant council for advice, some councils call them community officers. In my experience tho, unless your name is on the tenancy she can ask you to leave, I'm not sure on rights. I don't think you will have any security or legitimate right to be able to stay. If you refuse to go, you can be evicted.

Sometimes you have rights. It's tricky sometimes and I'll tell you why. I owned a home and let some creep move in. Things didn't work out and I tried to nicely get him out. He moved in after I had paid the place off, so his name was nowhere on the paperwork. Anyway, when he wouldn't willingly move, I called the police to get him out and they informed me they couldn't, because he had lived there at least 6 months and I had to take him to court and have him evicted. However, if the lease your girlfriend signed is iron clad and states she cannot move anyone else in without written consent, I think you are out of luck.

youve got no rights if your not on the tennancy agreement,it sucks but thats life why would you wanna stay if your not together anyway,as you wont have a home the council might sort out a place for you to stay but it may take a while.best to talk to someone in the housing department to see if there is anything they can do for you.

y would you want to? not really if your name is not on the lease.
if your looking to make it tough for her? that's another issue.otherwise just find a place and go. if you want to get back with her that's another issue. breaking up is always hard to do. but when there no other way. its best to get going. you stay you end up in a domestic violence class or jail or worse. what do you do when she brings another man home. you know it will happen eventually. want to be around for that? if she can afford to keep the place and its her name on the lease. you have 2 choices. move out today. or move out tomorrow. you don't want to be where your not wanted. don't make it worse by defying her. you will lose in the end. if you get mad and get physical with her jail is where you will end up.no chic or relationship is worth that kind of trouble. walk away and take your self respect with you. otherwise you may wish you hadn't tried to stay.
good-luck E

of course you have rights. you have the right to continue to argue or disagree, and the right to move on. why would you want to move her out and you stay? you dont own the home, and they wouldnt have put just her name on the lease if you hadnt of wanted it that way for some reason. like maybe credit? i have leased before and whether or not it was a female roomate or a boyfriend, both names went on the lease because it protects the one leasing the home. if you were in it from the beginning you should of had your name on it. if you didnt then you werent signing up to be the responsible party. i sure wouldnt give up a home i was responsible for to someone that i no longer wanted in my life. usually that person is someone that you no longer trust. nope, no way.

Sorry, but it doesn't sound like it. However, it may be worth looking into it with an attorney if you have proof that you have been the one making the payments. If anything, you may be able to get some of your money back (if that is the case). Its just a suggestion - Good luck.

Nope I am sorry to tell you this. I share a home with my Fiancee also. Everything is in my name, but then I paid the down payment on the home and bought both vehicles. He does however help out alot with our monthly Bills. If we decided to end our relationship, I would give him the truck. he has helped me alot the last 5 years and I feel he deserves it. But I am not stupid either; if we are not married, his name is not going on my property..

This is tough. If it's in her name, it is pretty much hers. It's hard to get a place with a boyfriend. My ex-fiance, well fiance at the time, and I had a house but it was in his name and since we weren't married the house was his and I moved out....He still lives there and has long since gotten married.
