Hi chriseric 72 and welcome to the forum

There are private landlords that will allow you to rent their properties if you are bankrupt - shop around. And also put your name down on the Council list.

Yes I agree with Melanie. Private landlords just ask for character references.

If no landlord would consider anyone with a bad credit rating there would be a lot of homeless people around. On the other hand landlords need to protect themselves or they wouldn't be in business.

Being prepared to pay a large deposit and/ or rental up front will show a landlord good intent.

Kind regards,
