mouseandjj Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 my partner and i are going to be viewing a bungalow today with a local letting agents. on there application form it says about a quarantor is needed if people are on housing benefits my partner as a terminal illeness and is on DLA for life so we do get housing benefits because of this. the property is £450 PCm and we have been offered between £400 And £420 But we can not get a quarantor because both sides of the family are in there 70s our idea would be to offer either 3 months or six months rent up front to the landlord as my mother as given us this amount do you think we have any trouble with this . also as my partner gets most of the income in his name and i just get carer allowance do you think its best as a joint application r single application i would very much like you advise please asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
