Homes for market rent

Are you looking for a quality, well-maintained home to rent in the North West? At Onward Living, we have a number of properties available for market rent, from city centre apartments to full-on family homes.

What is market rent?

With homes for market rent, the monthly rent you pay is based on the open market, or the local rent level for a similar home in a specific area.

Our market rent homes are available on an assured shorthold basis, and we offer flexible lengths of tenancies so you can rent the home for as long as you want to. Unlike Shared Ownership and Rent to Buy, you won’t have the option to purchase the property.

Market rent is different to social rent and does not require you to be on the local authority housing waiting list. If you’re looking for social housing, please visit Onward Homes.

Who is eligible for market rent?

To be eligible for market rent, at the time of letting you must:

• Be in employment and earn at least 3x the monthly rent per year
• Be able to pass credit and affordability checks
• Provide a deposit equivalent to one months’ rent, as well as one months’ rent in advance
• Have the right to rent in the UK

There is no priority given to housing need. Homes are rented on a first come, first served basis to the most suitable and proceedable tenant.
