Dss on adv?

Question

in an adv about shared flats i found "no dss" what does it mean? what is dss?

Answer 1

The old name for social security / housing benefit basically.

Used to be the Department for Social Security that gave it out, also known as department for Health and Social Security (DHSS)

Landlords don't like tenants on "DSS" as the councils are supposed to pay the landlords direct and are ALWAYS s******g it up, missing payments,  "reviewing" etc.

THEN they wonder why the council house waiting lists are so long *sigh*

Answer 2

It means Department of Social Security. Some people don't like renting to folk on benefits.
