Common Allocation Policy for Tees Valley Lettings Partnership

Where possible, we will offer other affordable housing options to applicants who approach us for help with housing as many may have to wait a considerable time before being successful in receiving an offer.

Applicants can also consider the following housing options.

Private landlords

Homes owned by private sector landlords who are members of a recognised local authority landlord scheme, including accredited or charter, may be advertised on the scheme with the approval of the local authority.

Non-partner registered providers

As noted previously, registered providers who are not members of the lettings partnership will advertise and seek to let at least 50% of their available homes on the scheme in line with nomination agreements agreed with the local authority.

Details of these registered providers can be found on the Appendix 2 Non-partner registered providers section.

Low cost and shared ownership

Low cost and shared ownership products may be advertised on the scheme. Applicants will be considered for these products providing they meet the eligibility criteria determined by central government.

Home swaps (mutual exchanges)

Applicants who currently rent from one of the partner organisations can apply to swap their homes with another tenant. For more details, please contact your landlord.
