Minutes:

The Cabinet Member Housing and Safety introduced the report which outlined the development of a Social Lettings Service for landlords and tenants in the private rented sector. He explained that the main impetus behind this was in response to the government’s welfare reform. He made reference to paragraph 1.3 of the report which outlined the range of services the Housing Options Service would offer and in so doing should provide reassurance to private landlords. The Leader added that this represented an enhancement to the housing options service and was very welcome.
