rental income affect jsa?

I have rented out my property as I can no longer afford to live there, the rental income covers the mortgage, secured loan and an unsecured loan payment, leaving me with no money. I have just applied for means tested jsa, will I get it? as I have declared my property to them?

Help!!!

    I dont think they will take into account debts, so you may find you wont get JSA as they will say you can live of the rental income. You can try offer token payments of £1 a month for your debts while unemployed.
