How are homes let in Belle Isle?
Homes Belle Isle are let using the Choice Based Lettings (CBL) system that is used to let all Leeds City Council homes.
How does it work?
When a property becomes empty or the tenant tells us they are going to leave, we will produce an advert in the Leeds Homes Magazine giving details about the size of the property, rent and location as well as any other useful information.
Adverts are displayed from Wednesday through to Monday. Copies of the magazine are free to pick up at our office or any other local housing offices or One-Stop-Centres. Or you can keep up to date using the Leeds Homes websitewww.leedshomes.org.uk
When the home is advertised registered applicants can express an interest in a property by ‘bidding’ for it. Bidding means you are saying that you would like to be considered for the property.
