My friend is looking for a one or two bed flat to rent in forest hill/catford/ed.

The problem is most of the rent is paid by DSS and it seems no one is now taking it! She has a full deposit, guarantor and good references but it seems impossible to find a landlord who accepts benefits ( why I'm not sure as it pretty much guarantees the rent!).

She is a good tenant, a single mum with a part time job and an eight year old daughter who goes to school in forest hill so would need to be able to get there easily. Her budget is around ?1200 a month. Her support network is in the area and has lived in her previous house in FH for the last seven years with no arrears. Her current landlord wants to put the rent up by over ?400 a month so she has been served notice.

Any private landlord looking for a good long term tennant please get in touch!

  Another big thumbs up for Will from me. I've had bass lessons with Will over the past year after a 30 year break, and they've been great. He approached our lessons from a songwriting perspective, which was perfect for my needs. I played bass in a band for a few years in the 1990s but never really knew what I was doing. A year with Will has given me a far better understanding of music theory and how bass relates to other instruments in a band. Thank you Will!

  Hi How about finding a neighbour with a cat and arranging reciprical cat feeding? I have always found that as long as they are fed once or twice a day cats are fine on their own for 2 or 3 weeks. Much better than they would be in a cattery.
