Housing Benefit and DSS

Updated 3 January 2026 1 min read Category: legal-rights

Do We Accept Housing Benefit / DSS?

The short answer is YES. We will not reject any tenant because they wish to use Housing Benefit or similar to pay their rent.

All our tenants must meet the following criteria whether they are using Housing Benefit or not:

  • Pass a credit check, or have a guarantor who will.
  • Provide evidence of income, or have a guarantor who will, which supports the rent.
  • Provide a reference from current landlord.
  • Pass Right to Rent checks.
Please be aware that we often have multiple applicants for a property, and it will be at the landlord's discretion which tenant to move forward with.

Need to Report a Maintenance Issue?

If you have a maintenance issue, you can report it through your tenant portal or get in touch with our team.
