Large family can't find rental

[MimiBeee]

Just wondering if there is any advice please .
We are a large family - 8 of us . Not on any benefits and have a good income but we cannot find anywhere to rent as no one wants 6 kids in their properties ! What should we do ? We would love to buy but don't have a deposit yet as it's hard to put money by with high rents , taxes , bills , food etc .

Ooh. This'll go well.

Why?

”Family struggle to find suitable rental” is hardly that unusual is it?

It's not aibu. You should be able to ask a question here and seek advice without bracing for a bear pit.

Although, I can't think what the solution might be. What have you been doing until now, op?

What do you mean ? :)

We struggled to find a place with 5 dc op. We found a 6 bed home but didn't want 5 dc in it! Very odd!. Eventually rented a farmhouse from a trust. Maybe try that.

What can you do only keep looking? Are any of your children older teenagers who could stay with a relative? I'm sure renting 2 places isn't an option

I'm sure everything will work out :) no I don't have family around me , I grew up in care , always wanted a big family :) my eldest is 13 xx

We've just been phoning around so far . I'm sure it will all be ok :)

That is strange ! But glad you found somewhere in the end :)
We have amazing references etc
I'm sure it will be ok in the end x

What happens if you don't tell them how many kids you have? Eg we have three. Then Oh no the other three are now no longer to stay with gran, they'll have to join us.
(That's a genuine what happens - id would be worth looking at contract. As surely if you had four and then you had triplets just after moving in they couldn't evict you, for example)
