Rental help please

[Deleted User]

Thankyou for all your comments, all I can do is try, I do rent privately at the moment, and my credit file although low is clean as in no defaults, oddly says £0 on my overdrafts.

There is one thing what might help me is that I have a guarantor who earns £42,000

if you have a guarantor, then your credit checks may not be so important as the guarantor has to pay any rent that you haven't. they will need to pass the credit check themselves.

I'm not sure where you get the idea that LHA is £600 'nearly all over the country'. For a one bedroom flat in my North East city, LHA is £488pcm. In Norfolk where my niece lives, it's £440 pcm and in Cornwall where my sister lives it's £548 pcm. My figures are from the VOA's own LHA checker:

There's a wide range of LHA across the country (by which I mean England) and it's unhelpful to quote unverified figures.

Are there any Housing Associations in your area offering Mid-Market rents

Could be an option

Thankyou for reply, I did actually make enquiries when I went on benefits and was told the waiting list would be years for someone single like me as others with familys and bigger health concerns come first.
