charmaine5 Â Â 0 #1 Posted September 4, 2021 Hi im wondering if anyone can help me im looking for a room or a flat or house maybe but really struggling through to been on sick im in reciept of housing benefit and finding it difficult to find anywhere really upsets me and frustrates me.Been on benefits was not through choice i was working full time long hours as a dedicated care assistant but just over a year ago my world was turned upside down i was diagonosed with severe aggressive stage 3 breast cancer.This made me really ill so my job had to end i was devastated im reaching out to see if anyone can shine any light if anyone knows any private landords or landladys or anyone with a room to rent.Rent would be paid direct to landlord/landlady so no issues there.Im very genuine and just want to live a nice settled life.Willing to consider any area and wanting to move asap id be very grateful if anyone could help me thank you.

Ms Macbeth   73 #2 Posted September 4, 2021 Have you tried the Council? They have some studios/one bedroomed flats on their First Come First Served website. A lot are age banded, over 60, but there are a few for any age group. Might be a long shot, but you never know.  https://www.sheffieldpropertyshop.org.uk/PropertySearch/Results?Sender=ResultsPage&AttemptedLocationName=&PreviousAttemptedLocationName=&AttemptedLocationLongitude=0&AttemptedLocationLatitude=0&SearchRadius=5&SortOrder=2&PreviousSortOrder=0&PropertyID=&AllocationScheme=556&AdvertTypes=1&AdvertTypes=5&AccommodationTypes=0&AccommodationTypes=1&AdvertisedDates=&_=1630791565585 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Anna B Â Â 1,401 #3 Posted September 5, 2021 Do lodging houses still exist? Â There were quite a lot of them in the 50's. They took on 3 or4Â people depending on the size of the house, each with their own bedroom. And the landlady provided meals and washing etc. She supplemented her income, they had a comfortable place to live. Â Maybe it's time for a comeback?
