Linda Slater had many open-mouthed by her claims, as she described the property as an ‘absolute joke’[/caption]

But Linda wasn’t impressed with the ‘absolute joke’ of a property, which she claimed was a ‘safety hazard’ for her kids.

Posting on social media, the brunette beauty gave her followers a tour of the council property, leaving many totally stunned. 

The woman, who claims to be receiving benefits, said: “So this is where the council temporarily housed us for a little while – it was alright, I mean, the bathroom was ridiculously excessive, who needs a bathroom that big?

“It was just very long, it was a really long flat and it felt very hospital

“It’s very white, very clean, it’s just not a bit of me.

“And the tiled floors, it’s just a real safety hazard for the kids.”

Linda explained that the ‘long’ flat goes “on and on and on” and not only was she unimpressed with the layout of the property, but also the low roof too.

The mother claimed to repeatedly hit her head on the “absolutely joke” of a roof.

As well as this, she continued: “The bedroom is alright, it didn’t come with any wardrobes or decent furniture.”

Linda then asked her followers what they thought of her temporary housing, but much to her dismay, trolls were out in full force, with many stunned that she wasn’t happy with the property. 


The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @lindaxslater, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 644,300 views in just 24 hours. 

One person said: “Complaining about a spacious clean flat? Unbelievable.” 

Count yourself very lucky I was put in a room with two teenagers for a year!

Another slammed: “Ungrateful is an understatement.”

A third commented: “This is the best homeless accommodation I’ve ever seen 😳😳😳 are you serious?!?!”

How can I get a council house?

To apply for a council home, you need to fill out and hand in an application to your local authority.

To find your local authority, simply use the Government’s council locator tool on its website.

Once you have access to your local council’s website, it should offer you guidelines on how to complete your application.

After applying, you’ll most likely have to join a waiting list.

Bear in mind, even if you are put on a waiting list, this doesn’t guarantee you a council house offer.

Your council should also offer you advice on how to stay in your current home and solve any issues you might have, such as problems with a private landlord or mortgage.

You are eligible to apply for council housing if you are a British citizen living in the UK providing have not lived abroad recently.

Each council has its own local rules about who qualifies to go on the housing register in its area, but it is based on “points” or a “banding” system.

For example, you’re likely to be offered housing first if you:

  • are homeless
  • live in cramped conditions
  • have a medical condition made worse by your current home
  • are seeking to escape domestic violence

Once you are high enough on a council’s waiting list, it will contact you when a property is available.

Some councils let people apply at the age of 18, while others let you apply even sooner at 16-year-olds.

EU workers and their families and refugees may also be eligible.

council house is reached through a points system, so depending on your housing needs, you may be considered low priority.

The council will contact you about any available property once you are high enough on the waiting list.

There is no limit on how long you can expect to be on the waiting list.

Whilst someone else chimed in: “No mould, clean and tidy. This is outstanding for temporary accommodation!”

At the same time, one mother wrote: “Count yourself very lucky I was put in a room with two teenagers for a year! This would have been a dream.” 

Meanwhile, one homeowner penned: “I would be so happy with this flat! It’s nicer than my house that I spend my entire salary on the mortgage.”
