Go to the local housing office they will be able to give you a list. Also try looking for property to rent in birmingham using a search engine and they will say whether they accept DSS. Good luck xx

no not specifically, but try lying to potential landlords and come up with a convincing story to explain your lack of contract of employment etc . When you fill in the housing benefit forms tick the box that says you do not want the landlord informed that you claim housing benefit, and use the bit underneath to explain you wish to avoid being descriminated against, as this is very common the HB office advised me to put this. I told the landlord i had just returned to the country and would soon be starting work as a teacher, this was only partly untrue; had no intention of returning teach, but everyone knows there is loads of jobs in it. The landlord got his money cos HB gave it me . sweet. One thing tho, you may need a gaurantor.
good luck

To be honest i imagine you've gotten fairly some hassle, because the finest thanks to cajole a landlord that you're a strong tenant is to grant a guarantor. after all, what ought to ensue iof there replaced right into a difficulty along with your housing benefit sometime? they ought to substantiate that they don't seem to be left with the non-public loan, and so that they gained't take that risk on you. also, having a guarantor is likewise one of those personality reference the position you are able to teach that even even if you should no longer have a job for in spite of reason, you be conscious of people that're in artwork and private residences which matches on your favour. you are able to ask a landlord in the journey that they are going to be waiting to settle for references from proffessionals who be conscious of you - that way they wil in person-friendly words could write a strong letter somewhat of providing any money, yet you should could truly convince the owner and get him to love and believe you. in simple terms shop looking and ringing people.

I would try either ringing the local council to see if they have a list, or try the Citizens Advice Bureau.
