Hello everyone.
For some reason I cannot find any answer regarding renting a property while waiting for decision.

Basically, I hold a residence permit as a family member of EEA residence (Surinder Singh - vignette) which expires in January 2020. I applied for settled status in September and received COA, my concern is we are now applying to rent a property after living with my husband’s parents for 5 years (time to move out out now I think).

I sent my application to rent a property and they are now asking for passport and evidence of address. We are meeting the agent on Monday and worried that they will decline me due to my residency expiring in January + ongoing settlement application. Maybe it’s not a problem at all but I want to be ready and prepared for the meeting on Monday.

Do I have the right to rent? If yes, how can I explain this to the agent?

Anyone with the same experience, please share.
Looking forward to hear from anyone.
Thank you xx

I’m renting a place and the letting agency has asked that I send them a copy of my brc when I get it.

Hey. Thank you for the reply.
During your application to the letting agency, was your application to the home office still on going? I’m very worried on meeting them on Monday, I know I shouldn’t be worried because my residence permit doesn’t expire until January 2020 and settlement scheme application is on going xx

Yes... it’s still ongoing. I have the sticker in my passport and they copied it.

Oh that’s good to know.
I have the same (sticker in my passport)
When you did the application for tenancy, was the residence permit expiring (how many months left from the date of application?) or already expired?

I’m so nervous xx

Mine is valid until February.
