Hello,
Myself and my ex partner have split up. We have a 3 year old and own a house (we are both still living here together - fun times).
We are selling our house. Neither of us can afford to buy each other out so it’s the only option. I will be renting a house for me and my little boy.
I’m so worried about finding somewhere to rent, as I work part time and the rent will take up all my wages with nothing left over. I know that once I’m renting I will be able to claim universal credit and also will be receiving maintenance from ex. So I know I will be ok for money however at present, on paper, I can’t prove that I can afford it.
How is any landlord going to accept that?!
I can’t claim benefits until I’ve moved out, but I don’t earn enough before claiming benefits to be able to rent anywhere?!
Anyone been in a similar situation? Any advice much appreciated
