If you want to rent a property in the private sector, and you can't afford the bond, you may be eligible for the bond guarantee scheme.

The council provides a guarantee to the landlord, instead of a cash deposit, which covers damage/rent arrears up to the maximum value of the bond.

Please note

We're not currently running the scheme, however you can contact us for more information as to when we will be running the scheme again or more details about how the scheme works.
