A new service from Crisis for landlords who want to help the homeless

June 16, 2020 by Tessa Shepperson

CrisisThis pandemic has affected everyone in different ways. For some homeless people, it has been good as they will have been re-housed by the government.

However, there are still many homeless people on the streets. And maybe even more people who are at risk of homelessness – such as people in hostels or sofa surfing.

Plus many of those homeless people who have been rehoused have only been given temporary accommodation and still need help and support to find a permanent home and put their lives back together.

This is the work that the charity Crisis UK does. They help the homeless find a home and provide support.

If you are a landlord – you may have a home which you would be happy to be used to house a homeless person. If so, Crisis can help. They have a new, free, service set up specifically to help landlords.

This includes (for landlords)

  • A designated point of contact throughout the tenancy
  • Home visit and rent valuation
  • Access to their pool of tenants across their three London Centres
  • A hassle-free letting process
  • Direct rent payments to the landlord
  • Free, optional rental insurance

Note though that if you join this service, you should still make sure that you are happy with the tenants found for you as you will have the responsibility for evicting them should they prove unsatisfactory.

    ‘Frequently asked questions

    Can I get my property back if I’m not satisfied?

    Yes. It is your property and you can decide to take it back at the end of the initial fixed term, or at any time once the tenancy becomes periodic.’

    Until this happens;

    Responding to the news, Jon Sparkes, Chief Executive of Crisis, said:

    “We warmly welcome the news that private landlords will no longer be able to evict tenants at short notice with no reason. We know that the end of a private tenancy is the single leading cause of homelessness across England”

      “We know that the end of a private tenancy is the single leading cause of homelessness across England”

      Scrap section 21 and the leading cause of homelessness will be no private tenancy in the first place.

      And those that pay the price, as always, will be those at the bottom of the market.
