anyone need a family house sit for a couple of weeks?

[siobhanleighhunt]

Our rented house needs urgent works scheduled for this wednesday and I face the prospect of being homeless with a 7 mth old baby and a 22mth old toddler!!! We're thinking of renting a citadine type apartment for a couple of weeks but just thought I'd check here to see if anyone was going away for a couple of weeks and would benefit from a house sitting family? Or does anyone have any ideas about local places I could stay for a couple of weeks with a young family?

Isn't your landlord obliged to rehouse you?!

I know others have stayed at Salvation Army appartments at Denmark Hill. Basic but inexpensive - worth checking out maybe?

great idea Molly but unfortunately they are doing refurbishment works there at the moment. Re the landlords obligations..... I am learning that as a tennant I have very few rights and what constitutes 'unfit for habitation' is a matter of opinion! However landlord is responding positively to negotiations and will reinburse within reason
