If you rent your property to us for a 3-year period, you will get:

a lump sum of up to £5,400 (the total amount is based on the size of your property)
gas and electrical certificates (paid for after the tenancy has started and for 1 year)

The monthly rent will follow the Local Housing Allowance for the property’s size.

The property's rent will be capped for 3 years.

After this time, you can choose to:
