This booklet explains what Registered Social Landlords (usually known as Housing Associations) are and their contact details. Also given are details of the properties that they have within the South Derbyshire area. Some of the Registered Social Landlords listed do not have properties within the South Derbyshire area but do have properties across the border. What are Registered Social Landlords? Registered Social Landlords (RSL’s) are landlords who provide affordable accommodation for rent and/or sale. The way they operate is governed by a government body called the Housing Corporation. What accommodation do they provide? Most Registered Social Landlords have rented accommodation, this may be flats, houses, shared houses, bungalows, bedsits and others. As well as rented accommodation some offer affordable home ownership, home - buy and shared ownership schemes. How do I apply? You can apply directly to the Registered Social Landlords by completing their housing application form. This can be obtained by contacting the Registered Social Landlord direct. In some cases you may need to be on or have applied to be on the Council’s housing register, please check this with the RSL you are contacting. You can therefore be on both the council housing register and Registered Social Landlords housing register. The council are able to nominate people from their register to the registered social landlords that have properties within the South Derbyshire District Council area. However even if we nominate you to the registered social landlord to be rehoused we can not force them to house you, they have the final say on who they let their property to. 3
