Rent a home

Our main purpose is to provide homes for affordable rent for those people with a housing need.

The first step to access social housing is to apply via your local council's choice based lettings service. Find links to these pages on our lettings process page.

In some instances, we can directly let some homes. Please contact us for more information.

You can also help us to ensure our social housing supports those in genuine need by reporting to us any social housing fraud.

Our lettings process

If you're new to social housing you may be wondering where to start. Don't worry, we've outlined key steps.

'*Customer reminder* This year is a 53-week year

As a customer, you pay your rent on a weekly basis. Normally there are 52 Mondays in the year when your rent is due.

However, every five or six years, including 2024/25, there are 53 Mondays in the year, which means 53 rent payment days instead of the usual 52. This additional week makes up for a shortfall in days that occurred in the previous standard accounting years, i.e., 52 weeks x 7 only equals 364 days, not 365 days.

More details about how this affects your rent charges can be found on our website: ecs.page.link/Bx4U9

If you claim the housing element of Universal Credit, don’t forget to update your new rent via your UC portal.

Does that mean next year is a 51 week year?

Note to all universal credit does NOT cover that extra week, so you ll have to find it out of your own pocket.

This is quite good to know, even tho I am a greensquare tenant. Thanks for the heads up Selwood Housing

These rents are becoming astronomical, it's becoming cheaper to go private sector after the second 7.7% rise in two consecutive years.
