How does Find My Move work?
We believe that everyone in South Lanarkshire should have easy access to a property that matches their needs.
If you are on DSS housing benefits, this can often be a lot more difficult than it should be.
Common problems people face when trying to find a DSS Friendly landlord in South Lanarkshire:
- DSS Friendly status is not always clear
South Lanarkshire landlords often don't like to mention DSS in their listings, as government rules are in place to prevent discrimination. However, this only applies to negative 'No DSS' messages, not positive 'DSS Accepted' ones. - There is no central database for DSS properties
There isn't currently an easily accessible website or government portal to "find property that accepts DSS". Usually the only way to find out if a particular South Lanarkshire property is suitable is to ask each landlord or lettings agent. - Applicants on housing benefits don't always feel welcome
When you are on DSS benefits, you might sometimes feel you aren't the landlord's 'ideal tenant'. This may sometimes be the case, but the right property portal can help avoid those types of listing entirely. - DSS housing rules & regulations aren't always clear
Finding a property in South Lanarkshire that accepts benefits is made harder by the fact that specialists aren't easy to find. Most property portals cater for all tenant types and budgets, rather than specialising in tenants on DSS.

Yes, in many cases, you can request that payments go directly to your landlord. This can make landlords more open to renting to DSS tenants, as it provides them with payment security.
