Private Rented Sector Offers

Question

I am interested in obtaining data on the discharge of the Council’s statutory homeless duty, particularly with reference to private rented sector; I understand that the council can fully discharge the housing duty towards an applicant by making a ‘private rented sector offer’ (PRSO) under s. 193 (7AA)-(7AC) of the Housing Act 1996 as amended by s. 148 (5)-(7) Localism Act 2011.

I know that the council is not required to make a PRSO within borough, consequently some applicants are being made offers outside of the borough, and outside of London. Can you provide me with a breakdown of:

(a) the geographical location of the properties with which the council have made their PRSOs, and

(b) a summary of (i) the number of instances in which these properties are outside of the borough and (ii) within the borough.
