At a time when housing is in short supply, social housing is more important than ever before. More affordable than private renting – with rents linked to income – social housing offers its tenants a more secure, long-term let.
Generally provided by not-for-profit organisations – such as housing associations – social housing tenants rent from the housing association or council. With the explosion in demand for social housing, many organisations are stretched. Social housing operations – inclusive of social housing landlords, local authorities and housing developers – are awash with contracts, which come under many guises. Examples of which include: local council tenders, short term tenancy agreements, block management for flats, deposit schemes, inventories for checking in and out tenants, maintenance programmes for existing social housed tenants and properties, contracts and legal documentation to do with land and planning issues pre-build.
