Renting as a Discharged Bankrupt

hmmm.Would still be interested to find out if a LL has to give any reasons at all for declining a potential tenant....
Could you offer rent in advance perhaps?I am sorry, the landlord does not have to give a reason - indeed perhaps he was foolish to do so. Whom he rents to is a business decision, and you (for whatever legitimate reason) have shown that you do not always pay what you have agreed to. I'm sorry, but it's a fact. That may be a risk too far for him.
There is no doubt you have been discriminated against - but unfortunately for you, not all discrimination is illegal.
Hi Benji - thanks for your reply (I'm not the OP btw). I had been wondering if that were the case."Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it" Einstein 19510 -
Doh - stupid me. Sorry to you and to OP, hopefully OP will realise that the comments are for his benefit. (even if they don't sound that beneficial).Hi Benji - thanks for your reply (I'm not the OP btw).Life should be a little nuts; otherwise it's just a bunch of Thursdays strung together.0
