Wife on uk spouse visa applying council home?

[Mrsrainbow143]

Hi all hope everything is well with you guys, i have a question... me and my husband currently renting a private landlord and planning to move out on May. so i asked him if he can get a rental home or flat thru council and he said no chance cause he got a bad record in council i mean he owe the council some payment sounds like that, so what if i (wife on spouse visa) will get application to apply for housing rental in council is that posible? and if yes can i add my husband to the tenancy agreement will council allow that knowing my husband got bad records on them. note my husband is the sponsor.

You won't qualify for council (social) housing while you are under immigration control and have no recourse to Public funds. In any event, the local authority would base entitlement on the whole family income and who would be living in the property. The entitlement will only be based on your husband as a single person (+ children if you have any).

If your husband has defaulted with paying rent to the Council, it's unlikely that he will be accepted as a tenant.

Also bear in mind that many have been waiting for years for social housing.

Polish citizen workers/self employed are free from immigration control but you ain't that's why
