What is London Affordable Rent?

London Affordable Rent (LAR) is intended to provide an additional rental choice for lower to moderate income households, providing longer-term, higher quality, well-managed homes that are typically lower than regular market rents. The London Affordable Rent scheme can provide a solution for households struggling to meet open market rental costs, and those wishing to save a deposit to access home ownership in the future.
