About us
Renting on benefits, without the “No DSS”
SocialRooms is a UK room search site that brings together tenants on Universal Credit, Housing Benefit and other benefits, and the landlords who are happy to let to them.

UK-wideRooms for tenants on benefits
Why we built SocialRooms
People on benefits often have to search across dozens of sites, phone numbers and informal lists, only to be told “No DSS” when they call. Landlords who are happy to let to tenants on benefits have nowhere clear to be found.
SocialRooms puts both in one place. Every landlord here has already said yes to tenants on benefits, so tenants can search with confidence and landlords hear from people who are ready to move.
Who it's for
Two clear roles, one simple place to meet.
Landlords
- List spare rooms and HMO rooms
- Reach tenants on Universal Credit and Housing Benefit
- Manage enquiries in one dashboard
- Free to list
