Thanks for your contribution. I don't have arrears it was because I left the property in the care of a friend and moved south for university. My friend took in another person who he eventually evicted not wrongly but the guy in wanting his own property went to report to the association.benneviss wrote:Hi Amason ,
I note your issue and I would advice of the following:-
Please note that under the immigration laws you can not have a council tenancy but you can obtain a tenancy from Housing association. Scottish Government has made very clear in the legislation that no HA in Scotland deny any person a tenancy on the basis of a immigration status.
Now about a rent arrears ; it is a normal debt like your credit card debt , as long as you are not made a bankrupt by your creditor you are OK.
Although , you hand over keys your HA is going to ask for a decree to recover arrears , legal cost etc. The best way forward is to pay off all the arrears . If it is not possible then you could wait and watch , that your HA does not pursue for the recovery . If they pursue you could pay at the time and save yourself from bankruptcy . You are safe for your ILR .
I hope this helps .
