    Are you on your local authority housing list?

    In that case depending on your total household income you can apply for HAP .

    They quite possibly will. You and your partner will need your own bedroom, the 15 year old their own bedroom and the 9 year old their own bedroom. If you had two daughters or two sons it would be ok for them to share but because they are opposite genders they won't allow it. A sofa bed does not count as a bedroom. You will be accepted for hap depending on your income but not in the property you are currently renting.
