A
guide to loans for unemployed private and council tenants
If you are an unemployed tenant you may still be able to get a loan despite this circumstance. Some
companies will consider giving tenants who are unemployed a loan if
they have little or no income.
Obviously, if you are on income support, benefits, or disability
living allowance then this counts towards total declared income.
As with any type of loan there is a requirement to pay it back
over an agreed period. A flexible unsecured loan is the type that may be suitable for
tenants who have become unemployed. Normally most unsecured loans consist of fixed monthly
repayments spread over a fixed term. This is ideal for those tenants who
have fixed monthly incomes. However, for the self employed tenant
who is
faced with an irregular income, or those who have just been made
redundant, this is not a practical solution. A flexible loan may
consist of a stand-by facility or holiday period or an overdraft.
This ensures repayments can be made at a later date without harsh
penalties being applied.

for unemployed tenants
If you are seeking an unemployed tenant loan for whatever reason, it is
worth checking to see whether you can afford the possible repayments
by using the loan calculator.
There are of course other ways to improve your finances. For
example, are you aware of all the support and benefits you are
entitled to and do you have income protection cover for any other
loans or expensive purchases such as electronic goods? A good source
of free independent information on debt management and debt
consolidation for tenants is the
Citizens Advice
Bureau.

TO STATUS. SECURED LOANS ARE SECURED ON PROPERTY.
