New to exempt accommodation? Start with exempt and transitional housing explained, which covers who can provide it, Housing Benefit and the coming licensing rules.
Price it as a weekly service charge
When you add a listing, choose per week for the price. SocialRooms then shows it as a service charge, not rent, and explains to tenants that the rent is paid from their benefit through a housing association.
What to include in the description
- Exactly what the service charge covers (utilities, Wi-Fi, furniture, cleaning of shared areas).
- The support available and who it is for.
- How referrals work, and whether you accept self-referrals as well as referrals from caseworkers.
- The type of agreement (tenancy or licence).
