Homelessness prevention: private sector renting

An alternative to making a homeless application is considering renting accommodation through the private sector. Privately renting a property gives you, as a tenant, more control over important factors such as:

  • location
  • facilities
  • schooling
  • access to services

The Housing Options Service has a number of ways to help you into privately rented accommodation, including the rent deposit scheme, and we can provide you with details of local accommodation agencies. There are also other opportunities for getting financial assistance with paying your deposit or rent in advance .
