You usually need a connection to Rotherham to join the housing register, so if you don’t already live there, you may still qualify only if you meet the residency test or an exemption. Rotherham says you must be able to prove you currently live in Rotherham and have lived in Rotherham for three of the last four years, unless an exemption applies.
| Requirement | What Rotherham says |
|---|---|
| Residency | You must meet the residency test to Rotherham, unless an exemption applies |
| Proof needed | You must prove you currently live in Rotherham and have lived in Rotherham for three of the last four years |
| Other basic rules | You must be 16 or over, be in housing need, and meet the other register rules |
If you think you qualify, you can apply online through Housing Online. If you don’t meet the residency test and no exemption applies, you wouldn’t qualify for the housing register.
