More Information
Mole Valley is keen to work with and support our private rented sector landlords. We hold twice yearly landlord forums and offer a host of incentives and packages to those landlords who wish to rent their properties through the Council. This is called our HomeChoice Plus scheme. The scheme has been running for almost 20 years and has helped to house over 1000 households.
In addition to the forum and the incentives we are also here to offer you advice and assistance on any renting query that you may have. Advice is available through our team of housing options officers as well as our two dedicated Private Rented Sector Officers.
