My partner and i want to move but cant afford a deposit. He works full time and I'm a full time mum. We claim some housing benefit but not much. Does anyone know of any housing associations that dont require deposits? Do landlords ever waive deposits? The house we live in at the mo is getting to expensive.. any ideas? PS>>we cant borrow the money from family and my credit rating is shot due to ccj's 4 years ago. I dont hve any debts anymore but that doesnt seem to matter!!

Welcome to the forum! :beer: I live near Folkestone too. Where are you living now - do you have a deposit with your current landlord you are hoping to get back? I'm struggling to come up with any helpful suggestions unfortunately, hopefully someone else will come along with some more inventive ideas. I think you'd struggle to find a decent landlord who didn't want a deposit but I may be wrong.
If you haven't already, you could have a browse round the site looking for ideas to raise some extra cash: the debt-free wannabe and money saving old style boards may be particularly helpful. If you don't have to leave where you are immediately then it would be better to try and save the deposit up rather than borrow and pay interest.:shhh: There's somewhere you can go and get books to read... for free!

I came across a company called smart move near Hastings who issue bonds to landlords which many landlords take.
Try the DSS locally, they will know of such groups.0 -
