This indicator is set automatically from published LHA rates to make searching for suitable properties easier for tenants. It is not set by the landlord or OpenRent.

Anyone is welcome to submit an enquiry if they wish to be considered for this property, and enquiries from benefit claimants are always passed on to landlords.

The landlord has indicated they are unable to accept families.

Landlords are only able to refuse applicants on this basis where one of the following exceptions applies:

• They are subject to a contract of insurance entered into prior to 1 May 2026 which restricts occupation by children and which has not been renewed or varied on or after that date; or
• The characteristics of the property (such as size, layout, or safety features) mean that restricting occupation by children is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.

The landlord has confirmed that one of these exceptions applies.

You can still submit an enquiry if you wish to be considered for this property.

The landlord has stated that there may be grounds on which a request to keep a pet could be refused. If you enter into a tenancy agreement with this landlord you are still entitled to request permission to keep a pet, and the landlord may only refuse your request where they have a reasonable basis for doing so.

This is the landlord's preference only. Under the Renters' Rights Act, all tenancies are open-ended and tenants can give 2 months' notice at any time.
