I have subscribed to this thread.

Please don't do a DRO until your housing situation is stable (I mean sorted, not that you live in a stable).

It is likely that you will be living somewhere else soon and will leave this place with what we call former tenancy rent arrears. We would want all of that to go into a DRO and tidy the whole thing up.
