More details
I am a single mother and work part time I have a guarantor and passed all credit checks and affordability checks but as soon as I declare I get help with rent via housing benefits I get refused because of this. Similar cases have been to be discriminatory, but still goes on most estate agents won’t even let me book a viewing. I believe this is pure discrimination.
