If you want to rent a home, you can now have even more choice thanks to Compass, a choice based letting scheme that helps you find a property of your own.

Joining Compass opens up even more rental possibilities as not only Erimus Housing properties are available to you, Compass advertises properties for rent from partners across the area.

Compass is run by Erimus Housing and its partners:

Middlesbrough Council	Darlington Borough Council
Tristar Housing	Stockton Borough Council
Housing Hartlepool	Hartlepool Borough Council
Coast & Country Housing	Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council

That means you can bid for a property you are interested in, in any of the other areas; you're not just restricted to Erimus Housing properties in Middlesbrough.
