My sister left an abusive marriage with two children back in January. She works part time so that she can do the school run (her stbex works from early till late and can't do it).
She has found out that she is entitled to some housing benefit to help her pay the rent.
Trouble is, she can't find a landlord who will rent to her without a guarantor. She's currently on my sofa. My boyfriends daughter also decided to move in back in December so we have a houseful (small two bedroom flat).
Does anyone know of anyone who can help? The council won't help her as they see her as having somewhere to stay. Thing is, my sofa is not a good long term solution for anyone.
There's no one who can act as a guarantor. We are not in the position where we know anyone who can do this. I can't. I tried and i failed the credit check.
