We receive many enquiries from people looking to rent a home in the borough. Like other boroughs, we have a shortage of homes compared with the number of people who need them. Therefore, we encourage you to continue searching for privately rented accommodation in order to obtain suitable housing.
Joining the housing register
New applications will be assessed based on the
housing allocation policy. (PDF, 537 KB). We do not have discretion to make decisions outside of this policy.
What evidence will be needed?
Before filling in an application form, you need to think about who you want to include on your form and
the evidence you will need (PDF, 102 KB) to support your application. This will be checked when assessing your application.

Giving false information (for example, claiming you have children living with you when you don't), is committing housing fraud. We recognise our duty to protect the public resources that we administer. Misrepresentations will be referred to our corporate fraud team for investigation, and where appropriate, legal action will be taken.
