Gary287

Hi All

so I will be looking for a rental flat/house in Kent, I know some of the agents
will not look at me, (credit checks) can any body point me in the direction of where private LL advertise are there any sites on the net, I have been looking but not found any good ones, any help will be great.
Thanks Gary.

Check the kent messenger, can do this online too, we are with a private landlady but she still did a credit check if I remember rightly

Look at the noticeboards in the Court - some LLs specifically target bankrupts. Not because they are trying to take advantage, but because they recognise that you are now debt-free and probably better off than other tenants with debts! :j

Also, approach letting agents, but tell them upfront that you have just gone bankrupt and ask them if they will even consider you as a tenant - some will :j some won't :mad:

Whoever you end up going with, please make sure you fully read and understand the conditions of your tennacy agreement before signing it.

Not saying that you won't but I'm alot more naive than I thought I was and am in a right pickle at the moment. Everyone on this forum have been really helpful though.
