Hi Confusedagain,
I’m not sure, women’s aid told me that if I speak to the housing department and explain I’m trying to leave an abuser they have to help me find accommodation. I haven’t actually plucked up the courage yet, but that’s what I was told. Hope that helps, alternatively you could phone citizens advice bureau and ask them. Good luck 😊

hi ConfusedAgain,
i rent privately and am on benefits/housing benefit. I had to get a guarantor so that might be something you will need, but not necessarily. I have had loads of issues in the past trying to rent while on benefits, so when i moved recently I was really stressed out and thinking there would be no agencies or private landlords/landladies that would accept me, but I was surprised that in the town I moved to there were several who were fine with it. Good luck and I hope you find somewhere without too much worry and stress x
