I can't see any problem. Some landlords are more fussy than others but if you've got a month's rent plus the same again for the deposit, you should be able to find somewhere as long as you are working. If you were not working, your chances of finding somewhere good would be increased if there is someone who is in full time work who will act as a guarantor.

I left home to set up with my partner leaving my 2 grown up daughters and their boyfriends in the family home paying an unofficial peppercorn rent. There is about 18 months left on the mortgage and I have now split up with my partner leaving me homeless! Will I be able to rent a property bearing in mind that my credit report is not too brilliant but no ccjs or bankruptcy. The mortgage takes up about a third of my income. Many thanks pammie
