Answer 1

Many Private Landlords in the Area will accept housing benefit applicants but often for their poorer quality properties. although NO AGENTS will entertain you! best to look in small ads for property to let for direct adverts unless they say no DSS you are normally OK.

However NOT one private landlord I know will accept the Deposit guarantee scheme as it is designed not to give the deposit at all until damage is done and then they have to sue to DSS and the tenant. if you can raise the deposit then look under the small ads.
