We have launched our own social lettings agency, GBC lettings, to work with private sector landlords in tackling the record numbers of local families living in temporary accommodation.
We are looking to sign up private sector landlords who will take households directly from temporary accommodation.
In return, the council is offering a fully managed service including:
- Guaranteed payment of rent on the first of each month;
- Support through the process of turning properties around between tenants;
- Guaranteed tenant within two weeks of a property being ready to let;
- A minimum of four visits a year from council officers to check on properties;
- A designated council officer for support and advice;
- Support in understanding and complying with the ever-changing regulations landlords are bound by.
