Rent to Rent
Rent to Rent with Lantern Homes means we take on your property under a clear written agreement, and use it to meet genuine accommodation requirements from councils, commissioners and care organisations.
What you can expect
Clear agreements
Everything agreed in writing before we start, so both sides know where they stand.
Responsible use
Your property used for the purpose we agreed and looked after with respect.
Regular communication
A named contact and regular updates, not silence.
A long-term relationship
We look for landlords we can work with for years, not months.
What is rent to rent?
Rent to rent is where a company rents a property from its owner, then lets it to occupiers and manages it day to day. In return, the owner receives an agreed fixed rent. In a typical arrangement:
- The owner grants a lease or commercial agreement to the rent to rent company
- The company lets the property, or rooms within it, to occupiers
- The company collects rent from the occupiers and manages the property
- The owner receives the agreed fixed rent
It looks simple on paper, but it creates a chain of legal relationships that need careful management. The rent to rent company is often more than an agent: it may also take on legal duties as the occupiers' landlord. That's why we set everything out in a clear written agreement before we start.
The Renters' Rights Act changes key parts of the legal framework for renting in England. If you're considering rent to rent or a fixed rent arrangement, the agreement, compliance processes and property standards should all reflect the new rules.
Properties we consider
Every requirement is different, so we consider a range of property types, sizes and locations across Bristol, Somerset, Gloucestershire and South West England, from single rooms and flats to HMOs and whole houses.
Why we work this way
The accommodation we need is for real requirements from organisations we work with. That means we look for well-kept properties and landlords who value a professional, straightforward relationship.
