Melton Borough Council Lease of Four Self Contained Units

Description

Melton Borough Council (MBC) have been approached by an organisation with an offer to lease 4 units of accommodation as an alternative to temporary hotel accommodation. - The 4 units are self contained meaning they are better equipped for people who need this form of accommodation rather than rooms in guest houses and hotels that have no ability to cook or store food. - The units can be used for single people and for those with a 2 bed need on an emergency basis. - Occupants are given an excluded licence agreement which means they have no rights to the property. - The security and cleaning of the block is facilitated by the company - Flats would be solely used by MBC - Pets are allowed - MBC only pay for times when the units are used and not when they are empty. MBC have over the last 6 months, consistently had on average 10 people in bed and breakfast accommodation. Savings from apartments vs the current hotel type are £218.50 per household per flat. Over a year this would be estimated to be £2185 per flat. For 4 flats this would be £8740 over a year.
