You might want to come up with a better cover story when applying for the loan.

i think you have to be renting for 6 months or something. go to citizen advice online or in person.

To be a proper grammar Nazi, the correct use of punctuation & spelling really should be your friend.

i misunderstood.

you're going to the bank with possible rent allowance as collateral?

banks can not lend money on that basis. so , no.

Who is Comma? And what does he or she want more of?

One months rent would be very small amount, a credit union would most likely be a better source.

Also, you need to be in a place for 6 months before you can apply for rent allowance I believe.

It may also take some time for them to process the request.

Finally rent allowance would not cover you entire rent. I understand the default AH response is talk about people getting all kinds of **** paid for them but from all the people i know, the most anyone is receiving in rent allowance is about 35quid a week max.

That said, you should do what you plan on doing as the inevitable thread you will post afterwards is sure to be great reading.
