Private Sector Leasing Scheme

Summary

Do you want guaranteed rent and no agent’s fees?

You and the local community can benefit from the Private Sector Leasing Scheme (PSLS). The Private Sector Leasing Scheme may allow you, as an owner in South Norfolk, to rent out your property to South Norfolk Council. We then sub-let the property to people in need of housing. As an owner of a Private Sector Leased property you will have a well cared for property and a regular income.

To use the Private Sector Leasing Scheme...

Further information

What is a Private Sector Lease?

A Private Sector Lease is a legal agreement between a property owner and the Council. The PSL allows us to sub-let the property to people in need of housing. The Council is responsible for paying the rent to you as the owner, the rent is guaranteed so even if the property is vacant you will still receive a regular income. We are also responsible for managing the property and you would have no direct contact with the occupier.

We will:

  • Pay you rent monthly in advance;
  • take care of most internal repairs;
  • make good any damage that may be caused by occupants, (except fair wear and tear), and;
  • manage the property on a day-to-day basis.

Is my property suitable?

At present we have sufficient properties and are not looking to take on anymore properties under the Private Sector Leasing Scheme, however if you have a property and you are interested in the PSLS please contact us.

Other ways we can help

We can also find tenants for your properties and help them pay the initial rent advance with our Rent Advance Depost Scheme (RADS) - find out about RADS.
