    Every 4 minutes, another young person in the UK faces homelessness. Since 2023 youth homelessness has increased by 15%. Over 140,000 are now without a stable place to call home. Herts Young Homeless (HYH) does extraordinary work, aiming to change the course of this reality. But they cannot do this without support. So, we did at their recent Berkhamsted Charity Golf Day. Our Finance Director (Tom), and Founders (Lester and Bradley) joined HYH on the course for their recent Berkhamsted Charity Golf Day. A remarkable £7,620 was raised. All of which will go towards helping vulnerable young people in Hertfordshire who do not have a stable place to live. We resonate with their mission because we believe that stability and opportunity should be accessible to everyone. Together, with Herts Young Homeless, and Chapta, we’re working towards turning the tide for vulnerable youth. #HertsYoungHomeless #YoungPeople #Support #RentConnect Hertfordshire County Council

    More than 4,000 children are injured each year from falling out of windows, and approximately 10 children end up losing their lives as a result (The British Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents). Safety is our top priority. Window restrictors play a vital role in this and go a long way in keeping our temporary accommodation safe for families. They allow for proper ventilation while preventing accidents like falls or unauthorised entry. Our trained maintenance professionals, like Sam W., our Maintenance Team Leader, ensure that each window restrictor is expertly fitted for maximum security and peace of mind. Watch the video to learn how this simple device limits how far a window can open, making it more difficult for potential intruders and preventing children from dangerous falls. Don’t attempt to fit a window restrictor yourself – always trust a professional to install these crucial safety devices. #safety #WindowRestrictors #RentConnect #OccupierWellbeing

    Turning around properties takes more than a team - it takes a triple threat. Our field time of disposal operatives, cleaners, and maintenance engineers work tirelessly across the UK to ensure our properties are safe, secure, and ready for our occupiers. These dedicated individuals are the backbone of our service, stepping in to ensure that the temporary accommodation we provide is functional and welcoming. Whether transforming a space with a deep clean, fixing essential systems, or disposing of old and unsafe materials, they make it possible for our occupiers—many of whom are in vulnerable situations—to transition smoothly into a new home. There’s no us without them. 💚 #team #RentConnect #safety #support

    Properties across the UK would not be safe without maintenance engineers. You may have heard about what they do, but rarely get a glimpse of their day-to-day activities. Our maintenance engineers are a driving force of our operations, ensuring the safety, security, and quality of every property in our portfolio. From fixing leaks to fitting appliances, they bring multi-skilled expertise to every task, supporting our occupiers in ways that often go unnoticed. Whether routine upkeep or solving unexpected challenges, they find creative solutions confidently. But it’s more than just maintenance. Our engineers are the key to protecting both the quality of life for our occupiers and the long-term investments of our landlords. Their dedication helps keep our properties running smoothly, ensuring they remain safe, functional, and a place to be proud of. Check out a day in their life and see how they make a difference every day. #MaintenanceTeam #maintenance #RentConnect #EndingHomelessness

    We came together for this year’s Harvest Festival, supporting our partner, Luton Foodbank! 🌾 Our team worked hard to collect essential food and drink items like juice, tinned vegetables, fruit, biscuits, tea, cereal, sugar and other supplies the foodbank urgently needs to continue its mission of fighting food poverty in Luton. Every donation helps ensure that no one in the Luton community goes hungry, and we are proud to play a part in supporting this incredible cause. Thank you to our amazing team members for your generous contributions, and a big shoutout to the Luton Foodbank team for their tireless work in tackling food insecurity. If you can, please donate any of the following items which are desperately needed: Juice/squash, tinned vegetables, tinned fruit, pasta sauce (jar), long-life milk (UHT), baked beans, biscuits, teabags, cereal, tinned fish, rice pudding/custard, tinned spaghetti/instant noodles, sugar, and dried pasta.

    Think back to your first day. Did your induction cover the basics? Did you feel connected to your new team members? Did you feel a part of the company’s vision? Inductions should cover more than the essentials - they should also be about forming positive relationships with new team members and understanding the why behind the company’s vision. That’s our approach. We had one of our biggest inductions yet - 5 new team members. They connected with our vision to provide quality housing solutions and end homelessness and learnt how they will be an important part of our journey. Welcome to the family - Bradley, Chris, Mark, Matthew and Daniel! 💚 #NewStarters #RentConnect #growth #EndingHomelessness #InductionDay

    Growth is important. We all know this. But there is something quite special about internal growth. It’s proof of how valuable investing in the development of our team is. How else can we ensure that our occupiers, partners, and properties receive the best support? That's why we’re ecstatic to announce that Sam M and Sam W have been promoted to Team Leaders of our Northern and Southern Maintenance teams. Both are exceptional, committed and go above and beyond to support our team and occupiers. They will play a huge role in guiding their teams' continued growth and development! Join us in congratulating both Sams on this massive achievement! 💚 #promotion #InternalGrowth #MaintenanceTeam

    Last Friday, the Rent Connect team came together for a special cause – supporting Macmillan Cancer Support through their annual Coffee Morning. From pastries to heartfelt chats, our team spent the morning raising awareness (and funds) to help Macmillan continue their incredible work supporting those affected by cancer. Together, we raised £400, which will contribute directly to providing practical, emotional, and financial support to those in need. We’re so proud to have joined thousands of people across the UK in hosting this event. But it's never too late to make a difference – every contribution helps! Donate directly to Macmillan using the link below and let’s keep working to stand up to cancer! 💚 https://lnkd.in/gmfbxP7 #MacmillanCoffeeMorning #TeamWork #CancerSupport #charity

    Creating environments for vulnerable young people is one thing, but it’s another to tailor experiences to these young individuals, equipping them with a strong foundation to build their own positive paths. This is what Chapta is all about. Only more of this will come.

    We’re excited to introduce one of our newest property additions - tailored to support young people transitioning out of care. 💙 This safe, protected, and supported property will be more than a place to stay for young adults, it will be their stepping stone to independence. With accommodation like this, we will help young people foster, confidence, resilience, and a sense of purpose - all key tools they will need to thrive in their future. Together, we’re helping them write the next Chapta of their lives. #YoungPeople #SupportingFutures #NewProperty #Chapta

    We want to share a new venture with you - Chapta. It’s no secret that we have years of experience in property management, temporary accommodation, and emergency accommodation. However, we’ve recognised that young adults leaving care tend to struggle with finding independence and thriving in their next Chapta. Here’s what we’re going to do about it. → Our mission is to support young people in their transition to adulthood and independence. How? → Through supporting young adults based on their individual needs whether that is with tenancy sustainment, educational, personal or professional development. Each young person's experience will be tailored and they will receive valuable 1-1 support. Who’s in our corner? → We have partnered with a supported living and care expert. The fusion of their care and supported living experience and ours will make a huge difference in the lives of young adults who require additional support.
