Discount rent for public sector workers, carers and
victims of domestic abuse is being mooted by Southwark Council in an effort to
tackle the on-going housing crisis. As part of its commitment towards 35 per
cent affordable housing, the council is suggesting a possible ‘intermediate’
and ‘keyworker’ housing scheme. Intermediate rent is discounted at around
half private market rent for people on
incomes below £60,000, while people earning between £60,000 and £90,000 are
eligible for a discount of at least 20 per cent. It says developers who build
for private rent are allowed to meet this figure using discount market rent.
