My landlady has informed me that she is selling up within the next 6-9 months, I have lived here for the past 9 years.
- Single parent, Currently receiving HAP, caring for my daughter of 19yrs who is in her last year of college (i'm receiving carers allowance, but not sure if that will continue once she graduates?), I am attending part time 2 year college course, not currently working.
- landlady has not yet provided formal notice, I'm waiting for that day to come, and have been avoiding her now like the plague.
After the recent passing of my father, I will be inheriting a commercial property worth roughly 90k, with annual rental income of about 12k (before tax).
- Pairing this rental income with a part time job, or later a full time job, I will still be relying on HAP to make up rent.
- I have been told by the council that I am far down the social housing list, and all they can offer is emergency accommodation once I have been evicted.
With this expected inheritance, will I be pushed out of the income limits for social housing (and HAP) and carer's allowance / any other welfare?
I am panicking as I type this... I'm not sure where I will be this time next year.
There is little availability of 2 bed properties in Galway city and county. Those that are available are between 1800 and 3000 per month. From what I hear it is also near impossible to get a landlord willing to accept HAP?
Appreciate any advice.
