Find a home to rent

Regenda Homes is a housing association with nearly 10,000 properties in the North West. Most of these are social rented housing but we also have 30 Independent Living schemes for older people, and 160 supported homes.

How do I apply to rent a property?

How you apply for a property depends on where you want to live and your local authority’s housing allocation policy.

Most local authorities now use a choice-based lettings scheme, which means you can search for and bid on available properties through their website. In some areas, we operate our own waiting lists and lettings policies, although we are expected to let a proportion of our properties to applicants approved by local authorities.

Once you have registered for housing with your local authority, you can use their choice-based lettings scheme to bid for the property you want. If you’re successful we will invite you to view the property and confirm your interest.

Unlike renting from a private landlord, you don’t have to pay any agency or admin fees or a huge deposit.  All we ask is that a minimum of one week's rent is paid in advance.

We will offer help and support to anyone who needs assistance in applying for housing; including advice about the Lettings policy and any Choice Based Lettings Schemes operating in your area.

Once an offer of accommodation has been made, all prospective tenants will be able to view the property accompanied by a member of Regenda staff.
