West Yorkshire County Council is using the LetsHelpYou service from LookingLocal to encourage better engagement with the private rented sector and to make the affordable housing market more accessible.
LetsHelpYou is a free service for both landlords and tenants, created by Kirklees Council-owned developers LookingLocal with funding help from DWP.
The service offers landlords a fast and efficient approach to advertising properties. With the ability for tenants and landlords to communicate directly, the local authorities and housing associations are removed from the equation, creating greater liquidity in the market.
