How do guaranteed rent schemes work in Leeds?

A vetted guaranteed rent provider leases your Leeds property for 3 years or more and pays the agreed rent monthly. We find the organisation and negotiate the lease for you.

Leeds is part of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority with Bradford, Wakefield, Kirklees and Calderdale. Supported-living and social-housing providers in the area look for well-kept homes on long leases, and we introduce Leeds landlords to the ones we have checked.

Whether you own a single terrace, a converted house in multiple occupation or a small block, the first step is the same: send us the details and we'll tell you honestly whether there is likely to be provider interest at that address.

Leasing to an organisation in Leeds means you deal with one leaseholder rather than individual tenants. The provider handles occupiers and day-to-day issues as your agreement sets out, and you receive rent by BACS on the same date each month.

Can I lease my property to the council or a housing association in Leeds?

Yes. Through Social Ready you lease to a vetted guaranteed rent provider, such as a housing association, council or supported housing provider. The local authority in Leeds is Leeds City Council.

You sign a lease with that organisation; you are not renting to the council's tenants directly, and the organisation is responsible for the people who live in the home. We vet and financially check every provider before we introduce them.

Is there HMO guaranteed rent in Leeds?

HMOs can suit supported-living providers who house several people in one home. You deal with one leaseholder instead of individual room lets.

In England, an HMO let to 5 or more people forming 2 or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence from the council, and councils can run additional licensing for smaller HMOs. Check with Leeds City Council whether additional or selective licensing applies to your address.
