Private
landlords can benefit from housing schemes
Private landlords with empty properties to rent are being
urged to contact the council's housing department.
Housing
officials can bring landlords and tenants together and ensure
that empty properties are fully utilised.
The
council can arrange short-term lettings of between six and
12 months, offer deposits, and a fast track housing benefit
service to ensure payments are made smoothly. If you are interested
in letting your property on a short term basis telephone 020
8871 6840.
For
longer-term lettings of up to three years, housing staff can
arrange to have the property looked after by a housing association,
with competitive rents on offer and vacant possession guaranteed
at the end of the lease. For further details telephone 020
8871 7846 or 7833.
