Is it discrimination to not let a house to a tenant on benefits?
I have a bit of a dilemma, i'm currently off sick and am claiming esa until i can get back into work. My current tenancy is up in 6 weeks and i have been struggling to find a landlord or agency who will even consider me as a tenant simply because i am temporarily claiming benefits.
They are nice as pie when they hear i want to view their property but as soon as i mention the B word they immediately write me off and show me the door EVEN WHEN I OFFER TO PAY THE FULL YEARS RENT UP FRONT!
Obviously this is not a financial issue as i am in the position where i can pay so surely this can only be snobbery/discrimination against myself.
How is this allowed? And has anyone else experienced anything similar?
