Ukrainian Families: Rental accommodation is being sought by two Ukrainian families in Hurst for December onwards. Either 2 x 2-roomed or a five-roomed property. They have good references from their current landlady and are able to pay rent, but their status makes it difficult to find rental property through an agency. If you or someone you know might be able to help, please contact Jenny on [email protected]
