I am a 64 year old retired female civil servant, long term tenant of 10+ years in current and previous house, excellent references, can provide a guarantor (two even!), non-smoker. I do have pets and I do receive housing benefit but in all other respects I am an excellent tenant. I have savings to cover housing benefit claim delay, I’ve never been in debt of any kind and consider myself a highly responsible and honest person. I only go for long-term rentals, which would surely be of be of benefit to some landlords. Looking for 1-2 bed house in or near Newcastle on Tyne from June 2021.
