Fife Private Rental Solutions

Project summary

Fife Private Rental Solutions (FPRS) is Fife’s Private Rented Sector Hub and Ethical Letting Agent providing advice and assistance to anyone interested in the private rented sector as a housing option. The service can also assist people who are already private rental tenants if they are encountering issues in their tenancy. FPRS’s aim is to help sustain accommodation in the private sector, in turn preventing homelessness for these tenants.

If you are considering the private rented sector, FPRS staff will look at affordability and may be able to help maximise your income, allowing you to consider all your options for housing; they can advise how to go about a property search; the requirements of a private rental tenancy; and help you to source the funds to obtain a property. FPRS now offer two deposit assistance schemes, where a tenant can access a loan to pay their deposits.

If you are already renting in the private rented sector and are experiencing difficulties, the FPRS team are there to help. They will work with you, your landlord, and letting agent to resolve any rent or other tenancy related issue; working together to help sustain your tenancy.
