I am a tenant who gets UC and have a dog ,my husband works full time but we still need help with rent.
Have a 15 year history with one landlord with excellent references.
we have been looking for a while and not having any luck so trying to be more appealing (if I can get past the estate agents).
we are already offering 3 months rent up front and a professional carpet clean when we leave plus plastic matting in hall way.
we were wondering about landlord insurance, is this more expensive , was wondering whether to offer to pay the difference.
Any other tips to get a house
thanks

No, assuming you're referring to having a dog, it makes no difference to the landlord insurance.
the last estate agent I dealt with said insurance is a problem with benefit tenants, is she lying, I'm a tenant so no idea on this stuff0 -

"Insurance is a problem", as in you cant get it full stop for benefit tenants, not just that it is more expensive. (Assuming we are talking about rent guarantee insurance).
