Help with your Private Rent Deposit

The Housing Advice and Options Service offers free and friendly advice on housing issues. This service is open to all the community in the Borough of North Warwickshire.

Do you need help and support finding private rented accommodation?

  • Are you homeless or threatened with homelessness?
  • Are you looking for private rented accommodation?
  • Are you unable to afford the deposit?
  • Do you live within the Borough of North Warwickshire?
  • Are you able to live on your own in a privately rented property?

If you have answered yes to all of these questions you may be entitled to assistance via the Council's Homelessness Prevention Fund. 

The Scheme can offer:

  • Information on private renting and accommodation
  • Assistance with sourcing a private rented property
  • Help towards costs associated with the required deposit

What would potential tenants have to do?

  • Make a homeless application to North Warwickshire Borough Council
  • Provide any requested information in support of your application for the funding 
  • Be owed a homeless duty by North Warwickshire Borough Council (you will receive an acceptance letter in writing if this applies to your circumstances) 

If you would like more information please contact the Housing Options Team directly.
