Renting whilst on benefits...

[Darkness 10]

I'm trying to find a house to rent in a decent area of Sheffield with my partner and three kids. I'm moving from Cumbria and where I live there are NO jobs. So i'm on Jobseekers allowance. I've rang every bloody letting agency in Sheffield and they all say the same thing - NO DSS. Pants.

 

Does anyone know of somebody that does except DSS?

 

TA!

Why not secure yourself a job here first before you move here?

You may find that some Private Landlords will do it - you need to get the property guide or Sheffield Star ..... what sort of work are you looking for ?

I want to chat with a Sheffield citizen. Prefer female 55 +/- 10 years. My name is Sheffield and I want to know my roots before I die. Thomas Sheffield, Tupelo Mississippi, USA

Not sure exactly what I want to do, but I have previously been a self employed PC technician, I also have a huge interest in music. I am tempted to start publishing a music magazine for Sheffield as I have had experience of this before.

An online Music Mag or actuall paper version?

[Darkness 10]

A paper version. I would set up a website too. It would cover the 'rock' scene, mainstream and local.

Welcome and good luck with your accommodation and job hunting.

 

Just a couple of questions:

 

Are you an asylum seeker?

Have you been tortured for your beliefs, either political or religious?

 

If you answered no to both of those then you'll be welcomed by everybody else on this forum too.
