I was about to point that out.
he onyl earns £400, she could earn £4000 but cause of being declared bankrupt can't get a property.

Well done that man. she earns 18000 per year but it may as well be nothing.
Should be able to get a place... previous person I shared a flat with was made to declare bankrupt and we just had to pay a bigger deposit, although the next place she moved to I think her parents had to sign as colleteral if she defaulted (suckers imo).
It is likely that there are covenants in the contract which state that the property must be kept in the same condition of repair as when you first moved in - the word 'reasonable' is a biggie here so, provided you havent smashed walls in and the house can be returned to its original condition, the mess should be ok.
Furthermore, the LL must serve a notice (section 25 i think) on the tennant giving notice of eviction, this must then be acknowledged by the tennat within a certain amount of time (ussually 14 - 28 days i think). They cant kick you out within a month - i dont think its entirely legal.
The best thing in this instance despite how nice your LL is -= is to be one step ahead of the game. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. Otherwise you may just end up getting screwed over without fighting your corner with the law on your side. Oh and believe me, since the latest 'landlord and tenant act', tenants have a lot more rights than LL's do.

I earn £400 per month, I look after the kids, my partner, the main wage earner is bankrupt and will have no chance getting a property with her name on.
I would not get a property that costs £500 per month on my own as i only work part time and do not earn enough money.
I don't see why you wouldnt be able to get somewhere to rent.
If you are paying money back still, then under the terms of the bankruptcy you will have to inform the official recievers that less money can be given. They have to allow you enough money to live.
It might mean paying 3 months upfront or something, but it is more than possible.
Issue is he isn't earning enough to cover the rent entirely himself on a lot of places for rent and his partner while earning enough has a bad credit record and will be much harder to get accepted as a tennant by most landlord/agencies... usually in the situation where one of the tennats has a bad credit record, etc. the other(s) will have to sign a contract making them liable if the person defaults, but in this case they are unlikely to make that exception.
Although tbh from my experience a good number will eventually cave in if you push a bit... depending on the current demand.

agreement means bugger all, they want to know where the money is coming from.
that means, in his name only he can prove his own income. Most agencies will want to know where the rest of the money is coming from, if its a continual source then they will check it.
Yah they will want to check his income details and credit, and while its usual to make tennants joint and severally liable, in this case he doesn't have the financial record to back that up. Making it dependant on how desperate the landlord is to fill the vacancy.
Isn't there a way, perhaps costly tax-wise, to get your partner to create a company from which she can pay you for something, eg a salaried housekeeper/carer, say £1000 a month? As a result, your income looks healthier for the books when you look for a mortgage/rental?
I've no idea about these things but it sounds like moving her income to you somehow might be the way to go.

plenty? depends on where and what they are letting tbh.
no because she is BANKRUPT :/
As peopel have said, start looking. the sooner teh better. Talk to agencies and see what they say. They might want a bigger deposit or a few months in advance, they might not. Don't just go to one agencie, try them all. Also look private and explain the situation.
It might also be worth phoning cab or the housing people and see if you are entitled to anything at all.
Also wear and tear on a house is fine and they can't charge you for it. But tbh a darn good clean and a bit of paint is usually enough to ge your deposit back, also go round the house with them. never let them go round on there own and argue.
