    If your son is in full time employment and is going to be the main applicant I see no reason why not as he would be the one responsible for paying the rent, assuming he has a good credit rating. If however you would rely on your income to get the credit checks passed then this may be a problem. As a guarantor may be required or perhaps full payment for the term of the lease upfront. Your position should not mean there is no help for you, so perhaps phone a letting agent in the area you are looking to rent, go and meet them, explain the situation and see what they suggest. Good luck.

    Depends on the landlord. If you are able to stump up a deposit and the first month's rent, a landlord may be sympathetic. There is also help available to provide the deposit in spome cases with local authorities.
