I would like to request the following information:
Please tell me how much your council has spent on housing residents in rent-to-rent properties within and outside your borough in the last five financial years.
To be clear, this relates to the following periods:
April 1, 2024 – March 19, 2025

Response
Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding.
Hastings Borough Council are not familiar with the term 'rent-to-rent'. We have a small Social Lettings Agency which involves the Council leasing a property directly from the property owner and then renting it to tenants who are owed a housing duty. This currently relates to 21 leased properties.
