Renting and tenancies
Support with starting a tenancy, and getting a guarantor. What rights you have in rented accommodation can depend on what type of tenancy you have. For example, if you are renting from the council or a housing association, or if you are renting from a private landlord. It can be difficult getting started with a tenancy if you cannot find someone to guarantee your rent, or if it is more difficult for you to prove that you have the right to enter or remain in the UK. We will help you understand what your options are and work out how to solve any problems you encounter.
