Rent
Reside provide homes that are let at both market rent and discounted market rent. The market rent homes are accessible on the open market, similar to those advertised through an estate agent.
Most of the discounted market rent homes are let at around 80% of local market rents, with some at 65%. These homes are not social housing.
Reside homes are always prioritised for local residents.
Market Rent and Discounted Market Rent – eligibility criteria
We apply standard eligibility criteria to make sure that Reside homes are let to those who need them most. We’ll make sure that anyone offered a tenancy has the ability to pay the rent, with enough money left to cover their other living costs.
Interested tenants who proceed to satisfying the eligibility criteria will need to provide a holding deposit. Should they then be offered a tenancy for one of Reside’s market rent or discounted market rent homes, a deposit and a rent in advance payment will be payable before the tenancy can be offered. The deposit will be put into a Tenancy Deposit Scheme.
Applicants will need to provide information relating to the below:- Pass credit reference checks
- Show evidence they are British or EU/EEA citizens, or have indefinite leave to remain in the UK
- Proof of address for the last three years
- Reference from previous landlord (where relevant)
- Proof of employment and wage slips for the last three months
