Social Rent tenancies

Social Rent tenancies are usually offered in the form of Starter Tenancies. Most new tenancies begin as a Starter Tenancy. This is a form of Assured Shorthold Tenancy. If the first 12 months are completed successfully, the tenancy usually becomes an Assured (or Assured Lifetime) 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.
