Let your property on favourable terms and bring a refugee family to safety.
We urgently need more homes available to rent in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
Why we need your help
A major barrier to refugee resettlement is the lack of suitable accommodation.
Richmond Council provides incentives and support for private landlords offering their properties to rent to refugee families on the government’s official Afghan and Ukraine schemes:
- Rent paid direct to landlord
- Standard Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreements
- Incentive payment paid upfront
- Six weeks rent in advance
- Rent and council tax paid from the date the property becomes available
- Up to £460 towards insurance costs
- Help with furnishing property if required
- No obligations towards tenants beyond normal property maintenance
- Family supported by dedicated Caseworker and Resettlement Team
If you think you can help, please contact us here or the Richmond Council Resettlement Team.
