We are looking to secure 12 month tenancies for residents who need accommodation now and who want to access the private rental market.
Incentives include:
- A 12-month rent guarantee or Help2Rent insurance to cover unpaid rent
- Funding rent shortfalls between the rent and the LHA rent
- One month’s rent in advance and cash deposits to Landlords to cover first month’s rent in advance and the deposit on a property
- £250 sign in grant
- £150 pet payment to accept a tenant with well behaved pets
To be eligible for the scheme Landlords would need to enter into the Newcastle Accreditation Scheme to ensure the accommodation is safe and a decent standard.
What are we asking of you:
- Provide a well-managed property at an affordable rent
- Consider applications on a low income or welfare benefits
- Report any problems in the tenancy and work with us to resolve issues
