You can rent from a family member, friend, or someone that you know. 

If you get help to pay your rent from benefits then you need to check the rules on renting from a family member. You can find out more from the paying for your home section

Many voluntary organisations and charities have properties that they rent out. Some are for one person, and some are to share with other people.

You can find out about these by asking the Council or the Social Work team in social services.
