Leasing Arrangements

The Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government has established a new leasing initiative for the delivery of social housing.

This new initiative represents an expansion of the options available to local authorities for the delivery of social housing. Properties will be leased from the private sector and used to accommodate households from local authority waiting lists. Leased properties will be allocated to tenants, in accordance with the local authorities allocations schemes.

The main features of the new arrangements are as follows:

  • Local authorities will enter into lease arrangements with property owners for periods of between 10 – 20 years;
  • Properties will be tenanted, managed and maintained by the local authority;
  • Rent will be guaranteed for the whole lease period.


Expressions of Interest have been sought from property owners for the provision of dwellings under this initiative. All expressions of interest must be returned directly to the relevant local authority on the submission template available below.
