Local lettings policy

Page updated on: 19/06/2023

Carmarthenshire’s Allocation Policy outlines how we shortlist applicants for our available homes. However, in some cases we have an additional ‘Local Letting Policy’ (LLP) in place. The use of Local Letting Policies are restricted and can only be used where there is specific letting requirements.  

Local Letting policies across Carmarthenshire are currently under a review, therefore not all are published online, but we are working towards this. An example of Local letting Policy restrictions/additional requirements are as follows.
