Renting in Edinburgh

Private renting in Edinburgh

The majority of housing available for rent in Edinburgh is through private landlords, not social landlords like the Council or Housing Associations.

To find somewhere to rent in the areas you want to live in with a professional and reputable landlord, visit the Edinburgh Landlord Accreditation website.

You can get advice on what to look for and the things to consider when you are choosing a private let from the letwise website. 

Social renting in Edinburgh

To apply for social rented housing you must first apply to EdIndex then bid for available housing using EH- Your Key to Choice (external website hosted by a third party).

To find out how the Council let their properties click on Council Letting Policy.
