two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Notice or eviction from a Private Rented Sector tenancy is one of the most common reasons households approach Nottingham City Council as homeless (or threatened with homelessness).
Whilst a Section 21 notice does not currently require a landlord to give a reason they are ending the tenancy, there is anecdotal evidence to suggest that issues with receiving regular payments at the set rental charge and the build-up of rent arrears is often a contributing factor.
The availability of affordable housing in the Private Rented Sector is limited in the city with competing demand from a cross-section of society driving prices up and low levels of Local Housing Allowance despite market rates increasing at a faster pace in Nottingham than most other areas of the country.
It is important that tenants of the Private Rented Sector are supported to afford to maintain their housing as rehousing options will be challenging.
This specification sets out the requirements for the provision of Vulnerable Renters Support Services. These services are primarily for low income (including benefit dependent / reliant) households in the Private Rented Sector who are experiencing affordability issues in their tenancy and may be at risk of eviction as a result.
