About Mid-Market Rent
Mid-Market Rent is affordable housing designed to meet the needs of households unlikely to be successfully housed by local authorities or Housing Associations due to pressure of housing supply.
Mid-Market Rent is a form of affordable housing for those in work. Properties have a lower rent charge than other parts of the private sector, and here at Home Group ours form part of our affordable housing portfolio.
As a Customer you will be given a Private Residential Tenancy. We will manage the repairs service and all other contracts such as grounds maintenance and stair cleaning.
The benefits of a Private Residential Tenancy:
* It gives you more security as a Customer - it's an open ended tenancy, meaning home group can't just ask you to leave because you've been in the property for a set length of time
* Protection from frequent rent increases- your rent can only go up once each year, and home group must give you at least three months' notice of the increase
* Any rent increase can be referred to a rent officer, who can decide if its fair
* If you've lived in the property for more than 6 months, Home Group have to give you 84 days notice to leave (unless it's because you've done something wrong)
* If you think you were misled into moving out, you can apply to the first tier tribunal for a "wrongful termination order". If you get the order it can award up to 6 months' rent in compensation
* Local authorities can apply to Scottish Ministers to cap the levels of rent increases in areas where rents are rising too much
