Find out more about the documentation we require for working with us.
Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness, and we know that a stable home is the foundation we all need for a decent life. That’s why when we work with people experiencing homelessness, one of the first things we do is help them find a place to call home. But to do this, we need access to more decent and affordable homes. And we need your partnership to make this happen.
We want to work with landlords and agents who care about helping people as well as good business. By working with us, you can find suitable tenants to fill and take care of your properties. And at the same time, you can be part of the solution to ending homelessness.

“We’ve been working with Crisis for over two years and have successfully let to several tenants during this time. Crisis provides a very efficient service, responding quickly to queries and resolving issues swiftly. We chose to work with Crisis as their mission to help people find good quality, affordable homes aligns with our core values. For anyone considering working with Crisis, do not think twice!”
James Pickett, Elite Developments
“Crisis provides a really helpful, supportive and fair service to landlords, whilst ensuring quality housing for those most in need in society. The benefit of working with them is that you can fill your properties quickly, and for free. The team is also easily contactable and knowledgeable. I’d definitely recommend working with Crisis!”

We work with people who are at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness. This includes people in temporary accommodation and hostels, as well as people sofa surfing and staying in unsuitable and insecure accommodation. Many of our clients are single people, but we may also support couples and families.
We usually have people waiting for properties and will endeavour to find you a tenant once your property is ready to let and we are satisfied that it meets legal safety standards.
We will require evidence that as a landlord you are fulfilling your legal responsibilities and ensuring your tenants are safe. Our team of experts can assist you with this and provide advice on new and changing landlord regulations.
Further details here: Documentation we require for working with us.
We hope you will be satisfied and want to hear your feedback if we have not met your expectations.
But, yes. It is your property and you can decide to take it back at the end of a tenancy, or at any time once the tenancy becomes periodic.
You will be required to serve the appropriate notice to the tenant.
This is a unique opportunity to access a free and comprehensive service, tailored to your needs as a landlord and delivered by our team of housing experts, whilst also being part of the solution to ending homelessness.
Yes. Our service is completely free. We’re invested in working with landlords who can help house people experiencing homelessness because this contributes to our overall mission as an organisation.
Whether you let directly to private tenants or through us, we cannot guarantee that all tenancies will be problem free.
In case of dispute or problems, we can offer tenancy mediation to facilitate agreements that benefit both landlords and tenants. This is the most straightforward way to resolve tenancy disputes and we can provide support to allow a constructive and facilitated discussion.
Our teams are experienced and can help all parties involved to understand one another’s concerns and to jointly come up with ideas for how to end their ongoing dispute.
The above is an overview of the free services we are able to offer.
