Renting privately

Can we help?

Southwark Council runs a number of schemes that may be able to help you to move into private rented accommodation if you are homeless and on benefits or a low income. You can find out more about these schemes by calling the housing options team on 020 7525 5950.

You may also be able to claim housing benefit to help with paying your rent if you are on benefits or a low income. You can calculate what you're likely to get using the online benefits calculator.
