Yes you most certainly can. I have one and I rent my house. I believe that the only critera are surplus income and debts of over £15,000. So long as you generally pay in over £200 then you should be a ble to qualify for an IVA.
You can have an IVA as a tenant and indeed many members of the Armed Forces enter IVAs even though they live on base as they fear bankruptcy would damage their career prospects.
A lot of tenants worry they won't be considered for an IVA. In some cases it can make it easier that you rent and do not own property but every cases is assesed on its own situation.
The best thing you can do iget some specific advice for you from one or two of the professionals and see what your options are. Don't proceed until you feel comfortable and well informed.
