Mid Rent

It is exactly as it sounds – somewhere between market rents and those set for social housing (for example Council or housing association housing). Ideal for those with jobs who can’t afford Edinburgh’s market rental prices.

You may have a job in public services (we call this key worker status) or are on a waiting list for a housing association or council home with little chance of moving to the top of the list. You may want to move
back into an area you have a connection with – for example, either you were born there or you have family in the area.

If you fit any of these categories and have a minimum income of £1000.00pcm after deductions but earn less than £22,000 for a single person and £32,541 for a larger household, then you qualify to be considered for mid rent.
