About Mid Market

Mid-Market Rent housing is designed to assist households that are unlikely to be successfully housed by the Council or a Housing Association/Co-operative due to the pressure on housing supply.

Mid-Market rent is a form of affordable housing, although rents are higher than what a tenant would normally expect to pay in social housing.

As a tenant you normally get a short assured tenancy, which is the same type of lease as most tenants get when they rent privately.

The Local Housing Authority's Housing Strategy clearly defines the important role Mid-Market Rent housing performs in addressing housing need throughout the city and this tenure forms an integral element of the council's affordable housing policy.
