Local Authorities.
Rent Connect works with 75+ local authorities across the UK to offer temporary and emergency accommodation, housing placements and wider housing solutions. We source, manage and maintain properties so your housing team can focus on casework and outcomes.
We handle placement moves, property compliance, repairs and occupier management. We adjust our approach to meet local requirements — different local authorities, different demographics, different pressures - without dropping standards.
How we work with local authorities.
Fast placement.
Local authority partners get access to our live availability dashboard, which offers a real-time view of all current properties with size, location and compliance details. Your team finds the right property, then books or reserves it directly through our system. The available properties are ready, compliant and inspected.
Full property management.
We manage the property end-to-end - maintenance, inspections, compliance, occupier communications. Your team focuses on casework. We handle the property.
