Mid-market rentsWhat is Mid-Market Rent?
Mid-Market Rent (MMR) offers high‑quality homes to rent at levels below typical private market rents in the local area, but higher than social housing rents. It is designed to help people on low to middle incomes who find it difficult to access social housing or afford to buy a home, while offering greater security than the private rented sector.
Who can apply?
To be eligible for Mid-Market Rent you must:
  • Be aged 18 or over.
  • Meet income and affordability criteria.
  • Be able to demonstrate a good tenancy history.
  • Demonstrate affordability based on current household income.
MMR may be a suitable option if you:
- Are struggling to find affordable private rented accommodation.
- Want a secure home while saving towards home ownership.
- Are living with family, friends or relatives.
- Are a first‑time buyer or aspiring homeowner.
- Are on a council or housing association waiting list.
- Need to move due to a change in circumstances (e.g. health issues or relationship breakdown).
