Why are the Civil Servants in Govt/Local Authorities not approaching those landlords and offering HAP tenancies of 3,5,7 years?
I know your not being pedantic! And yes, I might not fully understand how HAP works!That's not how HAP works, it's up to qualified applicants to source accommodation for themselves.
Even an ardent right winger like myself wouldn't go thereI thought the thread was going to be about all the old people this will kill!
Lets pretend they make a HAP1.1 scheme for homeless people in hotels. And Civil Servants link those people up with vacant AirBnB's that are interested in the scheme.
Do you see any merit in that?
Yes, this is opportunistic. That's my whole point.
But it doesn't have to be short term
Perhaps your right.It makes no sense whatsoever for anyone with a short-term rental property to assign it to the LA for social housing unless you believe there will be no one looking for short term let properties for a number of years. Leaving a short term let empty for a year would return a higher yield than assigning for social housing.
With such a high rate of refusals of housing offers before the crisis, what makes you think they'll now start accepting short term let properties?
