The Local Lettings Agency Model
In response to the highly regarded Rugg Review, the Department of Communities and Local Government (CLG) have recommended that introducing ‘Local Lettings Agency’ (LLA) models can enable local authorities to work more constructively with the private rented sector in their area.
Settled Housing Solutions Consultancy Service can work alongside your staff on the development and successful integration of a bespoke LLA model which will enable you to deliver a more co-ordinated and cost effective approach to securing PRS tenancies for low income households and allow you to focus on improving the sustainability and quality of accommodation in the private rental sector.
Your LLA model can address your service’s individual strategic objectives including:
- Enabling you to develop a sound evidence base of your local Private Rental Sector market
- Minimising PRS re-housing costs
- Developing effective temporary accommodation reduction plans
- Unifying housing options and Choice Based Lettings (CBL) integration
- Raising standards through accreditation and self regulation
- Implementing Local Housing Allowance (LHA) Tenancy Support and Sustainment Plans
- Improving your working relationship with your local PRS
- Equalising PRS rental opportunities for low income households
