If you don’t meet the local connection or income rules, King’s Lynn says you may not be accepted onto the housing register. In that case, private renting may be your best option, unless you’re in one of the exceptions the council lists.
| Rule you don’t meet | What King’s Lynn says |
|---|---|
| Local connection | You may not be able to apply for housing unless you’re a current or former armed forces member within five years, or there are exceptional circumstances requiring you to be in the area. |
| Income and savings | You may not be accepted onto the housing register if your annual income and savings are not below the council’s threshold. |
| If you’re not accepted | Private renting may be your best option. |
If you want to challenge a Housing Payments decision instead, the council says there’s no right of appeal, but you can ask for the decision to be looked at again within one calendar month.
