El primer paso ser?a entrar en contacto con su agencia de la ventaja de cubierta. Explique la situaci?n y estoy seguro ellos won' t tiene un problema con ?l. Tambi?n, pueden saber de algunos lugares que pueden recomendar a usted.
Ja kunt u. Zij ezels welk voordeel zij u zullen geven volgens hoeveel ruimten u zo nodig hebt als u een extra ruimte zij don' hebt; t betaalt huisvestingsvoordeel voor dat maar zij doen voor degenen u wenst.
Ook zou u aan sub moeten kunnen laat de logeerkamer om het verschil te compenseren tussen wat u krijgt en wat u betaalt.
by the sound of the wording I take it you are in England. Well all councils have their own rules and regulations within the gov. guidelines. Best make an appointment to talk to local housing officer or his/her understudy.
Actually a lot of landlords prefer people on benefit as they are sure of getting their rent.
Or a housing agency will also be able to give you the info that you need whether you rent from them or elsewhere
