Renting a private property

The sheer demand for council housing outperforms the supply, which means we are increasingly looking at the private rental market as an option for our tenants.

Haringey Council is working hard with private landlords to improve standards of private properties throughout the borough.

Council policy you should know

Important information about the Lettings policy

It is a legal requirement that every housing authority must have a published, accessible Lettings Policy. We have been working on a new Lettings Policy since August 2006 and after undertaking a major consultation with a wide variety of individuals and groups, it is now completed. You can download a copy in the attached files section below.
