Guest/s Moving to the Private Rented Sector.
The Private Rented Sector (PRS) is a classification of housing in the UK. The basic Private Rented Sector definition is: property owned by a landlord and leased to a tenant. The landlord, in this case, could be an individual, a property company or an institutional investor. The tenants would either deal directly with an individual landlord, or alternatively with a management company or estate agency caring for the property on behalf of the landlord*.
Here in Northern Devon, there might be some assistance if you are trying to move into the private rental sector. The assistance will start with a look at whether you will be able to sustain the rent in the accommodation you are looking at. Thereafter advice and support can be offered. Do reach out for help if you need it.
