Can a company rent an apartment on behalf of an employee?

A company may be able to arrange accommodation for an employee, but this requires a separate discussion about who will be the tenant & how the rent will be paid.

A company paying an employee’s rent is not necessarily the same as the company being the named tenant. Different agreements, checks & legal responsibilities may apply.

Information to prepare

• The apartment & location required.
• The employee’s name & intended occupants.
• Whether the company would sign the tenancy or pay on the employee’s behalf.
• The proposed move-in date & expected length of occupation.
• A company contact who can approve the agreement & payment arrangements.

If the employee will live in a property in England, any applicable right-to-rent requirements must still be met. The type of agreement may differ from an ordinary residential tenancy.

Choose a suitable apartment & contact our team before submitting a standard personal application so we can confirm the appropriate arrangement.
