Diary of a tenant: the trials of flat hunting | Money | guardian.co.uk
Flat hunting in a hurry is never a good idea, but I need to get out fast – my notice period is expiring. This is an especially difficult time to be a no/low-income tenant, especially one without a guarantor and in temporary or short-term employment.
Housing benefit cuts force us to chase a restricted pool of flats within Local Housing Allowance limits. One property I viewed was affordable, but the tenants were leaving because of the building's disrepair and the landlord's inaction. I noticed that attempts had been made to kick in the main door.
