Some housing schemes currently provide accommodation to enable tenants to make and/or sustain the transition to independent living in the wider private rented sector or to help groups who may otherwise struggle to find private rental accommodation. They are sometimes known as ‘stepping stone accommodation" but can have other names. These tenancies will often be at discounted rent and are granted to tenants who meet certain eligibility criteria. This new ground will allow certain landlords to gain possession, where appropriate, to enable them to continue operating these schemes.
