I have just paid my deposit on a new flat after a relationship breakdown and I need help with paying my 1st months rent does anyone know what help is available for me thanks
Hi @Trucia and welcome to the community. 😊
I'm so sorry to hear about your relationship, I hope you're doing ok. With regard to the rent, are you currently claiming any benefits? Have you spoken to the landlord? That would be the first port of call. Citizens advice have lots of info here which may be of help.
A Discretionary Housing Payment may be a possibility:

The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
