Aim
The role of a Deposit Guarantee Scheme is to help address the barriers individuals can face when they do not have the necessary capital to secure a tenancy in the private sector and thus extend the available housing options.
Objectives
The primary objectives of the scheme are to:
-
Help address problems of homelessness.
-
Make privately rented accommodation in Highland more widely accessible
to people on low incomes.
-
Create sustainable tenancies and support tenants in their home.
Benefits to Landlords
- A chance to let their property more quickly.
- Assistance with processing Housing Benefit.
- Free advice and information in connection with the lettings process.
- A Guarantee in place of a cash deposit.
- Support and mediation, if required, throughout the tenancy.
Benefits for tenants
- No need to raise a deposit at the initial stage of the tenancy.
- Assistance with all aspects of setting up and managing a tenancy.
- Access to mediation, if required, between the tenant and landlord if necessary.
- Access to a wider range of affordable housing.
If you are a private landlord or a tenant looking for accommodation please do not hesitate to contact Julia Harte, the Highland Deposit Guarantee Scheme Co-ordinator, on telephone: 01463 701275.
