They deny people on benefits with a scummy, yet somehow legal, method of asking 6 months rent in advance.

To their response: yes, we fall below the affordability threshold like with every house in Norwich, despite us both being on nearly the maximum possible benefits without physical disability. Either way we understand the requirement for a guarantor but you didn't give us the option of "6 months rent or guarantor". It was "6 months rent AND guarantor". So don't try and frame it as us trying to shoot above our means and get away without having a guarantor
