PATH RENTING SUPPORT SERVICE

The Path Renting Support Service (RSS) has been set up to help people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, to access private rented accommodation.

How it works

​We carry out a housing needs assessment for our RSS clients, looking at their options and aiming to support them to gain their own tenancy. One of the ways we can do this is by providing a Deposit Guarantee (DG) where people cannot otherwise afford a deposit to secure a property.

A Deposit Guarantee is a written agreement between Path and the landlord or agent. It guarantees that, if at the end of a tenancy there are any rent arrears and/or damage, Path will reimburse the landlord up to the agreed value of the guarantee. 

The guarantee secures both rent arrears and damages.

If you are a landlord or letting agent and would consider taking a Deposit Guarantee, take a look at our Deposit Guarantee page and our Information for Landlords & Agents

If you have a client you would like to refer, there are three basic criteria that they must satisfy in order to access this service:
  • Qualify for Housing Benefit/Local Housing Allowance
  • Homeless or threatened with homelessness
  • Not have the means to provide their own deposit
​
