  • you can put in a homelessness application 28 days b4 you become homeless and the la have a duty to look into it and provide emergency accommodation if there is a need. But you don't need to be on benefits to ask for their list of landlord's the reason I mentioned that was more to do with the fact that alot of ppl on benefits do have poor credit ratings but these landlord's will accept them. u just need list of reputable landlord's
