Since a setback , recently I'm on benefits .[.sigh ]
I have also been given notice ,as the house where I'm in , will be sold soon
I have found the perfect new location ,
even cheaper then the current one
there is only one draw back :
the deposit is of 6 months in advance ! currently due to my illness nothing serious but keeps me in need of rest
, is out of the question to request as a bank loan
does anyone here knows if the rent benefits association.... contemplate such an unique circumstance ?and how to approach it ?
I really need to know soon ..Please help !!!
thank you !

one of the reason for the unuual request
[the 6 months advance ]is that the ground where the house is situated has strong hystorical value...and surely many more would love the location ..
thank you all for well wishing

in some circumstances your local council can help with rent in advance and a loan for deposits,i had help in my current house i pay back 50 pound a month to the council,also try your local social security you may get a budgeting loan or a community care grant to help you as you are moving through no fault of your own,its worth asking both social security and council as they can and normally do help.best of luck.x

Under no circumstance 6 months advance is not a scam. I will call the police or file a complain in the local magistrate office immediately.

I think somone has a heroine addiction here. No one gives 6 months deposit on a crummy house-appartment. It's just crazy. I can't justify typing anymore best of luck though.

Some Housing Association have schemes whereby they will fund a bond and a month's rent for you. Worth a try. Good luck and hope you keep on Answers when you move.

I don't think its legal to ask for more than two months' rent as a deposit. You should check this out further.

I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. Try asking your bank for advice or go to see a financial adviser. But don't worry everything will be OK if you stay positive!

Try asking for a crisis loan at your local benefits office.
