many thanks for that advice

Your best bet is, if you have a particular house you would like to rent, to speak to the letting agent and explain everything to them. Remember a letting agent is only that - any agent working on behalf of a landlord. Ultimately the landlord will decide whether they wish to rent to you or not. Nothing is set in stone. If you could provide a guarantor that would undoubtedly help.

Hi
I am wanting to rent a property but have a poor credit history.

Is there anyone out there who can advise as to whether I am likely to be accepted by letting agents since I would be able to put down 6 months rent in advance (due to the sale of my property).

However I have recently been made redundant but have other income from rental income from another propery that I own and also some child maintenance.

Do anyone know if letting agents would accept 6 months rent in advance and accept the fact that I have a poor credit history; Or would I be need to ask someone to be my guarantor who can has a good credit history.

Thanks in advance
