Being asked to leave by family or friends

Part of: Homelessness advice and support

Contents

Living with family or friends can be difficult at times. If someone has asked you to leave, try to talk to them and see if you can agree on some extra time while you make other arrangements.

If you cannot stay in your current home, see if you can stay temporarily with another friend or relative while you look for other accommodation.

Advice and support

If you live with a friend, relative, or landlord in their home, you may have fewer rights to stay there. Shelter has information about the rights of people who live with family or friends or live with their landlord.

If you have been asked to leave within the next two months and are worried about becoming homeless, contact HOST for advice and support.

If you are under 16

If you are under 16, your parents or carers are usually responsible for making sure you have somewhere safe to live.

If you have been asked to leave home, or you do not feel safe staying there, contact Trafford Children's First Response straight away.
