Sheffield landlords who let to Benefit-claiming tenants?

[Imran33 10]

Anyone know any private landlords who will accept Housing Benefit?

 

Needing to be housed as soon as possible.

 

Many Thanks

 

depends on what area you looking at?

Google, Sheffield DSS landlords.

[RWM1967 10]

Try "DSS Move" website, every property advertised on there accepts DSS.

 

Also worth looking on Gumtree, or even placing a property wanted ad on Gumtree (I believe this is free).

There is a list of private landlords in the property shop.

 

Also as said try Gumtree under property wanted. I have found decent tenants on there.

The fact that so many people have to ask this question is hideous.

Some buy to let mortgages state that you can not rent the property out to tenants receiving benefits.

... There is no legal reason why they cannot let to DSS tenants.. and is actually discrimination to not allow DSS tenants..

 

It's more of a 'choice' by individual landlords....

 

For mortgages though it could be different to renting as they have to be sure that the mortgage will be paid and continue to be paid each month etc, it's more like a financial loan...

Is that a problem for the banks or the landlord though?
