Issue details
Proposed Private Sector Leasing Scheme (PSL) and changes to the current Landlord Incentive Scheme (LIS).
To seek approval that Maidstone Borough Council launches a Private Sector Leasing (PSL) scheme, whereby it will lease properties in the borough from landlords for a medium-term period and use these properties as Temporary Accommodation (TA) for households affected by homelessness. This would be to reduce the Council’s reliance on nightly paid private owned TA, and so produce a financial saving to the Council.
Approval is further required for changes to the Council’s existing Landlord Incentive scheme and to shorten the delivery programme for acquiring Council owned TA from three to two years.
