Cover Image Short Term Lease Booklet. Click on it to download the booklet as a pdf As part of the housing department’s effort to meet the need for social housing and temporary accommodation, the temporary accommodation team actively seeks properties within the private rented sector to lease for periods of up to 10 years. The five property officers within the team manage the properties by carrying out thorough inspections every three months to ensure that they are properly maintained and kept in a habitable condition.
