Newcastle upon Tyne offers 2 landlord incentive schemes - money paid or guaranteed to landlords who let to council-referred tenants, such as guaranteed rent, rent in advance or a deposit guarantee. Each scheme below links to the council's own page where you can verify eligibility and apply.
Where a council-referred tenant cannot afford a cash deposit, Newcastle Private Rented Service provides a 'virtual' deposit that acts as security against damages and rent arrears. Properties must be in good condition and affordable; the service supports tenancies with reference checks and ongoing tenancy support. Contact privaterentedservice@newcastle.gov.uk.
Newcastle Private Rented Service pays landlords a £450 grant per vacant property advertised through its free Tenant Finder Service. The property must be in good condition, meet Newcastle Accreditation Scheme standards, and rent must be no more than 15% above the LHA rate. Tenants are referred from the council's Home Finder List. Contact privaterentedservice@newcastle.gov.uk or 0191 277 1438.
Confirmed advice-led service. Secondary sources cite a £3,000 grant tied to Newcastle Housing Accreditation Scheme membership; not clearly published. Possibly lease-tied / Public Sector Leasing (PSL) style if confirmed.
