The under 25's are seeking more help for housing and benefit woes, according to Citizens Advice.

The charity dealt with 700,000 problems from young adults who are struggling because of the recent housing crisis and it appeared that the number of people raising concerns about renting a home is rising.

Enquiries to Citizens Advice about private rented property increased by 10 per cent in the last financial year compared to the previous one.

Topics such as tax credits, broadband and telephone bills and pay entitlements also saw a rise in enquiries.

According to the charity, worries over overdrafts and loans have fallen however.

Gillian Gut, chief executive of Citizens Advice said: "We are helping young people stay on top of their bills, pay rent and keep track of changes to local services. A big problem is that so few people realise that they can often get support, such as housing benefit."
