Stop Estate agents and landlords saying no to benefits

The Issue

Are you fed up with being turned down by landlords or estate agents because you receive housing or universal credit? Let's make a change!

I am a single mother living in a 1 bedroom property with my 4 year old daughter. My local council have said I am eligible for a 2-bed property now but unfortunately the council do not have any properties available but I can rent privately.

I have been searching and have done a lot of property viewing but keep getting denied as soon as the landlord or estate agent finds out that I have some help from the council. I have the money to pay the deposit and I will be able to afford the rent and bills.

This is discrimination! it's unfair on the people who need a little help from the council. Let's make a change and give everyone a fair chance In life to have a home.

Not everyone has someone to be a guarantor!

Not everyone on benefits cannot afford the rent!
