Fairer deal for renters
Haringay Council is now set to offer a new non profit making letting agency service which is aiming to give tenants a “fairer deal” whilst offering landlords reliability and affordability.
Move 51 North, the not for profits letting agency was set up by the council housing management company Homes for Haringey, it is pitched as being the first agency of its kind in the country, created by a local authority to offer lettings and management services across the whole private rented sector.
Cllr Alan Strickland, Haringay Council cabinet member for housing and regeneration, reportedly said: “Private tenants in London are too often forgotten in the noisy debate about the housing market in our city.
“Haringey is fast becoming one of London’s most popular places to live and work, and we know many people prefer the flexibility of the private rented sector – which is why it’s vital we do more to protect them from rogue landlords and unscrupulous lettings firms.
“I’m delighted to launch our new lettings agency that will offer both renters and landlords a better deal and help stamp out rip-off fees and charges.”
