Loan for months rent in advance
Comments

If he gets housing benefit, he wont have to pay the last months rent (because it is paid in advance), so the day he moves out he would be able to use this 'rent' as the first months rent for the new flat, or is this how he will be getting the deposit?
No, between us we can manage the deposit. But it's the fact that he has found a flat that will accept benefits but needs to give 1 months notice to current ll, the new ll would rather not wait for a month for a tenant.
Giving in notice without finding somewhere is risky as the place he's in now took 6 months to find as nobody would take someone one on benefits, without them paying the rent until the HB was sorted out, this could be £2k +.
Thanks for the advice all.0
