Letting with an IVA, Pets and DSS payments

I was involved in a major car accident a couple of months ago and since I’ve been unable to work. I am a farm worker and was housed as part of my job. As I am unable to work they needed to find a replacement and that person needed accommodation so I’ve had to move out. I’m able to stay at parents temporarily but I need to find somewhere of my own due to my animals (2 dogs and 3 cats). I have an IVA and I’m receiving benefits currently until I’m able to return to work (doctor thinks another 3 months)

Is it possible to find somewhere in this position? I can’t live in a room with this amount of animals and I really can’t bare the thought of losing my animal family.

I’m in the North Somerset Area

You will find it very difficult.

Pets, Benefits & IVA combined. There is such demand for limited available rental property, that other applicants without these issues, might well be more preferable to Landlords.

Be prepared to offer your full story about the accident, and whatever justifications you might have for the IVA. Also, would your parents sign as Guarantor?

Thank you I thought as much. I do have a guarantor

my daughter has 2 dogs and two cats I would not rent her one of my places with those animals . However another landlord has rented her a place. So there you go
