Rent Deposit Guarantee Scheme
We run a Rent Deposit Guarantee Scheme to help individuals, couples or families renting in the private sector.
The scheme aims to help people who cannot provide a deposit, who have not accrued a debt previously through the scheme, and where one of the following criteria applies:
- are aged 16 years and over and have made a homeless application
- may be living in accommodation which is below tolerable standards
- have a medical priority which is affected by their present accommodation
For more information about the scheme download our Rent Deposit Guarantee Scheme leaflet:
Or contact your local housing office to find out how the scheme can help you get private rented accommodation.
