Who We WorkWith

Three kinds of public body lease landlords’ properties through arrangements like ours.

Public body

  • Local authorities
  • Housing associations
  • The Home Office

What they need housing for

  • Households they have a legal duty to house, including families in temporary accommodation and people at risk of homelessness.
  • Social and affordable housing tenants, where private stock helps meet demand they cannot meet alone.
  • Accommodation arranged under government contracts, where private properties are used to house people the state is responsible for.

Each of these bodies has a funded, ongoing need for suitable homes, and each can enter a lease that pays a landlord a fixed rent for the term. Which body a particular property suits depends on its location, type and the live requirements at the time, which we confirm before anything is agreed.

How the Partnerships Work

We maintain relationships with the housing teams inside these public bodies and track where they have live requirements. When your property matches one, we arrange a lease granted directly from you to that body. The body becomes responsible for the tenancy and the occupants; we handle the setup, the rent and the management throughout.

What each side brings

  • The landlord provides a suitable, compliant property and grants the lease.
  • The public body provides funded demand, places and supports the occupants, and is responsible for the property’s condition during the term.
  • RentPromise connects the two, arranges the lease, and manages the arrangement and the rent for the full term as the landlord’s agent.

This is why the arrangement is described as government leasing rather than a private let. The demand, the funding and the responsibility for occupants sit with a public body, which is what gives a landlord a genuinely different kind of security from an ordinary tenancy or a private rent-to rent deal.

Why This Matters to You

The strength of these partnerships is the reason your rent is secure. Because your lease is with a public body, your income does not depend on a single tenant paying, or on RentPromise itself. It is funded and paid by an institution with a long-term duty to house people, for the full term of your lease.

That is the practical benefit of everything on this page. You keep ownership of your property, you receive a fixed rent whether it is occupied or not, and your counterparty is a public body rather than a private firm. The partnerships are the machinery behind the guarantee, and connecting you to them is what we do.
