Can you rent a flat to a Ukrainian family?

Recommended Posts

We have been hosting a lovely Ukrainian mother and her 9 year old son in East Dulwich since April. They are completely delightful and have been wonderful house guests. They help us with cleaning, gardening and cooking. She has a job (in fact 3 jobs!) and her son is in a local primary school. We are finding it very hard to find a landlord that will rent to them - they will need to apply for housing benefit (UC) and we can help with a deposit (and will continue to support them as needed). All they need is somewhere small - studio/1bed/2bed - they will be really good tenants. They would also consider renting rooms in a shared house. If you would like to support the refugees and have a suitable property, please consider contacting us! Please contact me on [email protected]. Thank you!

    • There was a few around Loughborough Junction which were similar. The Green Man, Harrier's and The Loughborough Hotel come to mind. Harrier's could be a bit, erm, lively at times, but they were okay for a couple of pints early doors. A rough rule of thumb was, if someone puts The Wolfe Tones on the jukebox, you've probably outstayed your welcome. I was in one in Dalston Junction some years ago when a very large Irish lad mistook the home-made Scotch Bonnet sauce for tomato ketchup - and he obviously really liked tomato ketchup. I've never seen such a big bloke shed so many tears.  
    • There's a thing called scan angels who can come to your location! 
    • I agree with @malumbu Forest Hill around the Horniman. Forest Hill station has Southern Rail and Windrush, The London bridge train is great for connecting to Northern Line or Southern Trains to Charing X and Cannon Street.  When I need to get into the city I take Windrrush to Whitechapel then Elizabeth Line to Liverpool Street. Lots of parks, Lots of young families, farmers Market on Sunday, Decent nearby pool and gym. Independent Butcher a few Delis (Aga's The butcher sells Deli stuff And Pantry on Perry Vale) and good independent cofee shops, An organic  grocer on dartmouth road.. Sainsburys, Costa, Superdrug and TJ Jones (WHSmith) are branches of chains based there.
    • Thanks  for the advice .I did call Celia Hammond today and they are very busy at the moment and am waiting for a call back but in the meantime I thought I would see if I could find out who the owner was first . Thank you , I will try this if I can pick the cat up at some point if they let me if all else fails .
