Housing Associations

Housing associations and housing co-operatives are registered with the Scottish Government and provide properties at an affordable rent (also known as social rent).

Mid market rent

Sometimes known as Intermediate Rent, this is rented accommodation leased at a discounted level below the Local Housing Allowance rate which is set by the Government. The rent level will normally be higher than social rent but significantly lower than private rents in the area.

Private sector rental

Privately rented accommodation comes in different types and sizes from bedsits, to shared flats to individual houses – furnished and unfurnished. Rents across Aberdeen vary accordingly with most landlords requiring a deposit for the property and some rent payment in advance.
