Shortage in bedroom property for letting in Leeds
Getting accommodation in
Leeds is now not as easy as it had been back in times. The availability of
accommodation for students and professionals have become one of the most
difficult task because of the increasing population and influx of students and
professionals from all over to seek better career opportunities. According to
the details, 15000 residents in the city are waiting for their turn to get a
single bedroom property in Leeds and the time span that has been calculating
from the last nine years for their wait. There is no available room with one
bed in the Leeds city for the individuals specifically students who want to
spend their life alone and are looking for student
houses in Leeds.
The list includes majority of
the tenants who are under occupying their property and are trying to avoid the
tax imposed by the government recently for extra bed rooms known as bedroom
tax, has reached above the line of 4335 as reported by the city council of
Leeds. The council has showed its concerns about the fact that the tenants
would leave these properties that are being managed by the government and shift
to the private rental accommodations and student houses Leeds in order to avoid the extra imposed tax that is
increasing the cost of their living.
Wear And Tear Expenditures Has Increased the Actual Room Rent Value
As more and more tenants are
leaving, the cost for maintenance and other services has increased to large
extend and this has impacted the rental services to great level. The main
reason the tenants are leaving the properties with extra bedrooms is the
benefit they used to avail with the extra bedroom have reduced to 14% for the
spare bedroom and the rents and costs have increased many folds. It is also
said that the government spending would also reduce because of the impact of
bedroom tax. The tenants get full benefits from the private landlords and
private sector rentals on student houses Leeds and there are no reductions in
the benefits in any case even if the rents are increased.
Governments Survey Reports Indicate the Same Problem to Let Houses
The reports say that the
impact on the government’s earnings would be shown clearly in coming months as
the government expenditures are going to be increasing. The reduction in the
number of rooms in certain properties and student houses Leeds would result in
reduction in cash available with the Leeds Council. This is going to directly impact the
performance of the Leeds government and adversely impact its finances.
According to the reports there are 800 rooms in the city that are available for
use but cannot be used as rentable rooms because of certain reasons and hence
costing much to the city council. The council has been planning for long for
this event and this was indicated already to happen and the losses are
imminent. This has increase the number of private tenants that are offering all
the perquisites to the tenants and the properties available for rent with the
council are not being preferred and even amongst them the single bedroom
properties are getting the attention of the tenants as they help in reducing
their costs of living.
