Durham Key Options

Homes across County Durham are let using a Choice Based Lettings (CBL) scheme known as Durham Key Options. This scheme allocates properties through choice, giving you a greater say in where you want to live. It is operated by a partnership of housing providers.

The scheme offers:

• A letting system which is clear and easy to understand.
  
• Information about the properties available to let in the social and private rented sectors.
  
• The ability to decide when you express interest for a property.
  
• Information about property availability and details on the popularity of properties.
  
• Choice and involvement when choosing a home and area.
  
• The opportunity to find a home sooner by expressing interest for a home that may have less demand.
  
• Stability, if you choose your own home you are less likely to want to move later.
