please could someone advise- me and my husband are planning to have a second child which will mean we will need a bigger house, are we still able to rent as a bancrupt person or will we need to wait until we are discharged?
There is nothing stopping you renting when you are BR however most rental agencies carry out credit checks, which you will not pass when you are BR and may not pass immediately afterwards as your credit score will be pretty bad. Some agencies may allow you to rent but normally require 6 months rental deposit due to the poor credit rating.
Private landlords are the best option so have a look in the private ads in a local paper.
