Furniture and furnishing

How much is it and how do I apply?

How much rent you pay depends on what you want . . .

  • a fully furnished three bedroom house would typically be about £90 a week, compared to £60 for an unfurnished home
  • a one bedroom flat would average £67 if it's fully furnished, compared to the basic figure of around £45
  • part-furnished packages start from as little as £7.36 a week.

These charges are all eligible for housing benefit. So if you're on a low income you may not need to pay all - or even any - of the rent. (But you might want to work out if you could still afford the rent if you took a new job in the future that meant you got less housing benefit).

Before you apply

If you are already a Northwards tenant, or were a Northwards or City Council tenant in the past, you must have paid your rent on time (or kept to an arrears repayment agreement). And you must have kept to your tenancy agreement to take advantage of this great offer.

If you are new to rented housing and under 25 we may want one of Manchester City Council's tenancy support workers to help you manage a furnished place.
