If you're a Ukrainian looking to move on from a Homes for Ukraine sponsored arrangement, or Local Authority (LAHF) temporary accommodation, we know it can be daunting.
That's why we've created a set of resources and information sheets to help.
Help with renting in the private sector
Did you know that we can offer support and financial incentive to landlords who work with us to provide refugees with a privately rented home?
This includes:
- providing deposits and rent in advance if the tenant cannot afford it
- carrying out affordability assessments and tenancy check-ins
- giving landlord incentive grants
Our guide to renting in the private sector includes information on:
- working out how much rent you can afford
- maximising your income
- credit checks
- how to search for a home

Tenant CVs
The rental market is very competitive, so it can help to create a Tenant CV. This is like a résumé for renting a home. It tells landlords a little bit about you and your family, your work, and your rental history – as well as what you’re looking for.
Please select the links below to open Tenant CV examples in English and Ukrainian. Save templates to download and complete them on your computer.

Rent a room scheme
The Rent-a-Room scheme is designed for hosts and people with a spare room or even two or more spare rooms. It’s a UK government promoted scheme that has been in place since 2019 and lets you earn £7,500 per year tax-free from letting out furnished accommodation in your home.
This is something you might consider if:
- you are hosts who have had a Ukrainian guest for a while and you are finding the arrangement works for you
- you are house owners or tenants with a spare room(s)
