Camden Living

Our housing company helping to provide affordable housing to residents of Camden.

Camden Living

Camden Living is a company set up by Camden Council and managed by council staff.  It lets and manages 65 flats on new developments on fixed term assured shorthold tenancies. Camden Living rent is more than council tenants pay but significantly less than market rent. The company aims to house people who live or work in Camden who can't afford private sector rents.

If you manage properties on Maiden Lane, Chester/Balmore or the Bourne estate you will have Camden Living properties on your patch.

  • Shortlisting of the register of interest and viewings are carried out by the partnerships team.  
  • Tenants given are 3 year assured shorthold tenancies.
  • The tenancy is reviewed around six months before it is due to end.  The review includes an assessment of household income and the criteria of intermediate housing in place at that time (as this may change).
  • Applicants are expected to pay a month's rent deposit but this can be waived under certain circumstances.  The deposit is administered by the rent support team.
  • Rents are set at no more than 80% of market rent.
