Central Bedfordshire Council Housing Service's Local Lettings Agency Model
|
|
Settled Housing Solutions Consultancy Service has successfully completed a project for Central Bedfordshire Council's Housing Service to develop a new sustainable PRS housing option. The option, which has been named 'Let's Rent', will enable clients to gain access to, and sustain their tenancies in, good quality, well managed accommodation in the local PRS as opposed to being placed in temporary accommodation while waiting to be permanently housed by the council.
Let's Rent will be delivered through a new comprehensive Local Lettings Agency Model and will focus the housing service on improving the sustainability and quality of accommodation in the private rental sector. For more information on this project and our Local Lettings Agency Model please click here.
