    I have been assesed by the council as having a housing need (8 months pregnant and living with parents in a house with no heating!) and have viewed a place that i would like to rent. Everything is ready to go once i pay the deposit and a weeks rent in advance.

    Does anyone know would i be able to get a deposit before moving in to a place or do i have to pay the deposit myself?

    Very unlikely. For the simple reason that you may have to produce receipts. Is the allowance to be paid to you or the Landlord?
