Hello

I have a prospective tenants who is retired and on state pension. He wants to rent my property and he said he is on housing benefit. Please what is the procedure?

I do not usually rent to tenants on benefits and I am unsure how it works. He says he can get the council to pay me directly. Is that possible?

Also, the one month and 5 weeks deposit how will that work too? Will the council pay both payments?

Does the council pay the full rent of the property?

Regards

Dorothy
