Me and my boyfriend are currently living together in a 1 bedroom flat. (Have been here 3 years) it is with the housing association but we are desperate for a house and a garden!
We are unable to apply for a house with them as in their eyes we don't need one as it's just us 2. (If I were to be expecting a baby then they would offer us one) so our only option is to look for a house to rent privately. Do any of you do this? My boyfriend doesn't mind but I'm unsure, Iv heard bad things about renting privately. One being they only have to give you 3 months notice if they want you to leave. Sometimes you can't decorate or change the house in any way and I think it's going to feel like it's not our own home, your just paying some bloke to live in his house that could kick you out anytime he liked.
Just wondering what your opinions are and if some of you do this!? X
