Renting privately

There are many people on our 'Housing Register' and most single people have to wait several years to be offered a home. Renting from a private landlord may be the only alternative. Self-contained properties are normally let as 'assured shorthold' tenancies where the property is let for a fixed term, normally six months. If you want advice on renting privately, contact our Housing Options Section. Housing benefit may be given to private tenants on low incomes.
