My family or friends have told me I have to leave home

We understand relationship breakdowns can have a major impact on your housing situation and can happen at any time. This could be down to many different issues.

Being asked to leave by a friend or family member?

The Housing Options Service may be able to help you remain in the property by negotiating with your friends or family members. We may arrange for an officer to speak with your friends or family about remaining there short term, whilst we work with you to find somewhere else to live.

If you are worried that it may be unsafe for you to remain living with your partner following a relationship breakdown or believe that you may be experiencing domestic violence or abuse, please contact us now by calling 01274 435999.

If you face threats of violence contact the police on 101. If the crime is happening now, call 999.
