2 or 3 bedrooms?

Question

I have two girls aged 13 and 3, with a housing association im eligable for a 3 bedroom house but with the council im only eligable for a 2 bedroom house.
Does anyone know which is right, the housing association or council

reasearcher i pay my own rent so how does the tax payer have anything to do with it

Answer 1

im with housing assotiation in leeds, i have 2 boys. by right coz they r the same sex they can share a room, 3 beds tend to b kept for boy/girl. im fighting for a 3 bed coz this house is soooooooooo pokey. but no luck, unless u av a boy by law u dont have to have a 3 bed. and like ur self i too pay my own rent b4 ppl have a go at us xxx.

Answer 2

councils usually say same sex children can share a bedroom, but once you get a house you can put in for an exchange within 6 months, then you can say you want 3 bedrooms for a 2 bedroom

Answer 3

Sorry but it might depend on the council. I had a friend who had two children, one boy and one girl, and the council gave her a two bedroom flat. Her friend, who had one child was given a three bedroom house!

Answer 4

it is 2 bed for 2 girls i am council and have a 3 bed with 1 boy and 3 girls my 14 yr old has to share with my 4yr old and 5 month old. it is a pain i know as teenagers dont want to share with little ones (make up etc being touched) but its either loft conversion or put up with it sorry.

Answer 5

Well in Ireland with two girls it would be 2 bed house list. With one boy one girl it's 3 bed list.

Crazy but true.

I have my own house if I have girl after my boy they'll have to share a room, but if I was on a list I'd get a 3 bed house.

Answer 6

Depends on your specific council. One would say one thing where as the next one would give you a completely different answer.

Answer 7

Think yourself lucky to be offered anything.

Remember we tax payer have to foot the bill !!!!!
