I've just received notice to leave my flat as my landlords are retiring and want to sell up.
Thing is, I am not working at the moment and so many letting agencies are saying they will not accept people on benefits. Would I be unreasonable to say that I am a student (which is true), that I earn a bit from being self employed part time and that I also receive maintenance from my ex partner (we have a DD together and that bit is also true)? Otherwise I think I'm in the shit and don't know what to do? I know there is a massive queue for council houses and don't think I really want one anyway (I am looking for work so hope I won't be unemployed for ages).
