Allow a person to move household for duration of lockdown
Allow a person from one household to change residence and temporarily move into another household, such as a partner’s, for the duration of the lockdown. My partner and I initially planned to stay in our own households (both still live with parents) due to work commitments but now we would like one of us to be able to move in with the other since it seems lockdown is going to last much longer. This would involve one of us changing households for as long as restrictions are in place but it is not clear whether this is currently allowed. This is not proposing that someone can freely move between households, rather someone would change household and would not return home until lockdown was over.
Why the contribution is important
Many people are struggling without partners and close friends and are suffering mentally as a result. This would allow one friend or partner to change residence while restrictions are in place allowing people to decide whether they want to move in together. For example, a friend or partner may live alone and be craving some contact and would be able to move into another person’s household. It gives couples the opportunity to decide whether now is a good time to move in together and also gives people struggling in their current situation some hope and some much needed company. Furthermore, it may allow people who suffer from domestic abuse a way of leaving their current household.
