What is Leasing Scheme Wales?
Leasing Scheme Wales is a leasing scheme funded by the Welsh Government and managed by local authorities. The scheme offers landlords the opportunity to lease their property to us for guaranteed rent payment for a period of 5 to 20 years.
The scheme aims to allow more people to rent privately in Wales, and for it to be a more affordable option. The scheme will provide security for tenants and confidence for landlords.
The scheme will:
- Improve access to homes in the private rented sector
- Provide longer term security of accommodation
- Offer affordability
- Provide support
- Improve standards
- Contribute to reducing homelessness
