Renting a property with ENEHL

We let our properties through the Leeds Homes website and weekly magazine (published every Wednesday).

You can: 

• pick up a magazine from your local housing offices or One-Stop-Centres
• visit the Leeds Homes website: www.leedshomes.org.uk

You will need to complete a registration form to choose where you want to live.  This tells us more about your current circumstances and any special information we need to know about to make sure we recognise the correct priority of your application.

Once you've chosen a property you'll need to contact Leeds Homes to ‘express an interest’ in that property.

You can bid for up to three homes a week by:

• Using the Leeds Homes website
• Texting your bids to 60066 (see instructions below)
• Telephone on 0113 247 6313
• Posting your bids using the Property Interest Form, printed in the Leeds Homes weekly flyer.
• Telephone the minicom on 0113 222 4410

The Leeds Homes magazine and website give details of the number of people who have ‘expressed an interest’ in all the advertised properties.

You can download a Registration Form, guidance on how to apply for a home or the Council’s Allocations Policy, which clearly sets out how properties are allocated, from: www.leedshomes.org.uk
