Housing term

Single Room Rent(SRR)

Single Room Rent (SRR) is a type of housing tenure in the United Kingdom (UK) designed to provide affordable accommodation to individuals or households who cannot afford to pay for a full dwelling. SRR refers to a property made up of single rooms or bedsits which are let to individual or multiple tenants on an assured tenancy agreement. The purpose of SRR is to provide housing for those who cannot afford to rent a whole dwelling or for those whose lifestyle or financial circumstances require them to rent a single room, as opposed to an entire dwelling. The scope of SRR includes both residential and commercial properties, with the tenant typically being responsible for the payment of rent, utilities, council tax, and any other associated bills. SRR is regulated by the UK Government in order to ensure that tenants are provided with high-quality and safe accommodation.
