so...here's the situation.

My friend is living in a housing association property. She gets under 70 per week as a carer and some Universal Credit once a month to pay her rent with.

Now the housing association are telling her she's in arrears because they want her to be a month in advance in credit and she can't afford to pay it. I've just had her other phone in tears of despair. Is this right and legal that they can do this?

Any advice or thoughts appreciated.
