The Robinson - London Living Rent

WHAT IS LONDON LIVING RENT?
London Living Rent provides high quality rented homes on stable tenancies, with rents based on a third of local household incomes. Wembley Park Residential are pleased to offer 32 affordable homes under the London Living Rent Scheme.

ELIGIBILTY TO RENT A LLR APARTMENT IS SPECIFIC WITH THE FOUR MAIN CRITERIA:
• An annual household income of less than £60,000
• Not own any other residential property
• Live or work in London
• Demonstrate the ability to pay the stated rent and provide a deposit in line with standard Assured Shorthold Tenancy rates.

NB – Where there is interest from more than one prospective applicant, priority will be given to Key Workers and those with the lowest household income. Allocation of an LLR apartment is awarded based on the number of occupiers in your household. e.g. For two bedroom apartments a minimum of two
persons would be required. Families will also be given priority for this apartment type.

RENT LEVELS
The LLR rents are published by the GLA annually and for 2021/2022 Tokyngton Ward, which includes Wembley Park, rents are as follows:

£796.00 for a 1-bedroom apartment
£884.00 for a 2-bedroom apartment

Each apartment is fitted with fibre optic broadband which is included within your monthly rent.

Once an applicant has met the eligibility criteria for a LLR dwelling they will be offered an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) for a term of 12 months, 24 months or 36-months duration.

Applicants will then be required to pay an initial holding deposit equivalent to 1 weeks rent to reserve the apartment. Applicants will also be required to complete an online referencing application via a 3rd party referencing agency to determine ability to pay. References checks shall include the following:
• 3 year address history check
• Credit Check
• Employer reference to confirm that household is:
• earning less than the GLA income threshold of £60,000 per annum*
• A gross salary of x30 the monthly rent per annum which proves ability to pay
• Previous Landlord reference to confirm that applicant(s) have met the conditions of their current/ previous tenancy agreement.

Upon receipt of satisfactory reference checks the applicant will be required to pay 1 months’ rent and £500 deposit. The initial 1 weeks holding deposit shall be credited to the 1st months’ rent
