Newham 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.
Newham Council may agree to lease a property from the landlord for a period of time, during which the landlord is guaranteed rent. Presented on the council's landlord and empty-property pages as a route to bring property into use housing council-referred households, with financial incentives for leasing.
Newham Council's PRS Solutions Team finds tenants (families needing immediate housing) for private landlords on an assured tenancy, with rent at or around Local Housing Allowance level. The offer includes competitive incentives depending on size and location, one month's rent deposit where required, one year's rent guarantee insurance, and payment within 4-10 working days of the tenancy agreement. Landlords must hold LLAS accreditation and a Newham property licence. Contact HPASPRSTeam@newham.gov.uk.
No empty homes grant/loan and no active private sector leasing scheme; focus on new council supply.
