The private rented sector makes up a small but
important part of the housing stock in South Ayrshire. It has
an important role in providing accommodation to a wide variety
of groups, including lower income people, vulnerable people,
young people, students, mobile workers and homeless people.
The Council recognises the role that the private rented sector
plays in helping to meet local housing need and we want to support
and encourage private landlords in providing safe, well-equipped
and affordable housing for rent.
As part of our new approach, South Ayrshire Council wants to
work with private sector landlords and give them a stake in decisions
that have a direct effect on them. The Council is committed to
a healthy private rented sector. Raising the standards of good
and well-intentioned landlords is a crucial part of our private
rented strategy.
