Social Rent tenancies

Social Rent tenancies are usually offered in the form of Starter Tenancies and Assured Tenancies. Starter Tenancies are a type of Assured Shorthold Tenancy. Most tenants will move on to an Assured Tenancy.

Rent levels for all these types of tenancy are set according to Government formula, linked to local market rents and are usually substantially lower than rents for similar properties rented privately in the area.

When you apply for a home to rent, you will be provided with information about the type of tenancy offered.
