If you have a job and a bank account (so you can show your wages being paid in and can set-up a standing order) PLUS you current landlord gives you good references, you really should have ‘no’ difficulties….
A lot of private landlords refuse to take anyone on JSA (simply because they sometimes have to wait for the authorities to process your Rent assistance) = however the housing associations should be OK ..
If you are being evicted for non-payment (or your landlord refuses to give you a reference for some other reason) go see Citizens Advise Bureau or contact the Council Housing Dept. direct
