Made for renting on benefits
Every room on SocialRooms is listed by a landlord who is open to tenants receiving benefits.
Finding a landlord who accepts Universal Credit or Housing Benefit can mean calling around, only to hear “No DSS”. On SocialRooms, every landlord has already said yes to tenants on benefits.
Landlords list spare rooms and HMO rooms. Tenants search by area, rent, bills and accessibility, save the rooms that fit, and send an enquiry straight from the listing.
We cover the whole of the UK, and searching is always free for tenants.
