hi, i wont go into detail about my circumstances (its too long )
We have been told that we have to pay 25% of rent as we are 2 surplus bedrooms to requirements for our needs,,,,,,,,,,,, myself and my husband who is disabled with dementia and needs adaptations etc etc,,,,,,
anyway have looked around the area at private lets for 1 beds,, ok a few, no downstairs loo ( a must have ) steps to door ( a def no ) no walk in shower ( a must have ) and so it goes on, i have asked if these adaptaions could be met but a firm NO, this is after we have met the cost ourselves of adapting our home already to my husbands needs.
our O.T has said that aleady there are problems with private lets not accommadating disabled.
oh and also asked for 3 months wage slips, no dss, no pets, one month bond and a month rent upfront, £420,,,, my rent at presant for a 3 bed is £ 380 a month! now wheres the saving even if we could find a very kind landlord, ( private lets are business and investment not social housing )
so looks like no heating and cutting my food intake back to find the extra money,,,,,,,,,,,,
