this is my first post and i'm after some advice on renting while on an iva. my partner and i are thinking of moving into rented accommodation together. i have an iva since july 2008 which is is solely in my name and not his, as none of the debt was his. i know i will fail a credit check, so i'm wondering if it would be best to rent the flat in his name, and for me to contribute to rent/bills etc? is it possible to do that? grateful for any advice anyone can give me. great board by the way![:)]

Hi linzi and welcome.

Yes, there should be no problems with you doing that. Just keep your IP informed of any changes in circumstances.

thanks for the advice [:)]

Your partner would also have to contribute to joint running costs like light and heat as well.
