LLs That Accept DSS in Bristol/Wells/Glastonbury Area
Does anyone know of any landlords in the Bristol/Wells/Glastonbury area that accept DSS?
I'm guessing there's either very few or none but it's worth a shot.
Thank you.

I dont know about theyre but my mate was saying he was looking in birmingham and a load of houses now will take dss, he said he's even seen them with smokers and pets welcome, people are getting desperate im sure you will find the same in the areas you are looking.
He also said the rents are coming down in price aswell.

Thank you.
I'm just so desperate to move to be closer to the one person who encompasses my support network, and after recent events, it has made me want out of this place more.
I'm looking online at rental properties but most of them say NO DSS, unfortunately. =/

if you want any advice on areas, etc, give me a shout. I've been in Bristol for 10 years now 0

It pays to talk to letting agents and show your face, especially if you're confident you'll come across well.
I was looking for a place a while back and everything on one agency said 'no pets.' I decided to talk to them anyway and was told : 'Oh your two cats will be no problem at most of our properties; we just put that as a let-out in case someone with three rottweillers approaches us.'
I think it could be the same with DSS at some properties, though obviously not the majority. Wells & Glastonbury, particularly the former, are a bit snooty. Bristol should be easier.0 -
Try making contact with landlords directly (look in local papers, etc). They are likely to be less snooty than agents.0
