Under the Rent Deposit Scheme, we will pay a deposit to a private landlord on your behalf. This will enable you to rent a home in the private sector. These properties are often in residential streets rather than estates and usually have gardens.
This scheme is only available to customers who have been assessed under homeless persons legislation and:
- are placed in temporary accommodation and are owed or are likely to be owed, the main homelessness duty
- are owed a prevention or relief duty and are assessed as being in priority need
If you think you may qualify and are interested in finding out more about this scheme, please contact us.
