I am (now) a single mum to a 3yo and am expecting #2 in December. Due to split am currently living with my mum but there will not be enough room for little one as well. I have been to the council who were less than helpful really and suggested I rent privately which I don't have a problem with but I cannot afford a big deposit upfront. In my area I'm looking at (at best) £1500. To save that amount of money on benefits is gonna take me several months and that's time I don't have. Has anyone had help from a rent deposit scheme that has actually fronted most of the money? Or can anyone suggest where I could raise that sort of money?
