Sharing the Sulets approach
Sulets was established with the aim of improving student housing in Leicester. We are a unique company, a lettings agency, set up as an educational charity with a Board made up of the two Universities, the Students’ Unions and external trustees. Our mission is
To raise standards in accommodation for the students of Leicester. To be honest, transparent and fair in our actions and to enhance the student experience.
We rent approximately 2500 beds per year through a mixture of halls of residence and private housing.
We are regularly asked by other Student Unions and Universities, how we setup up Sulets, how we operate and how to build an ethical lettings operation with students at the heart of the company. We are now offering a programme to deliver advice and training to Student Unions, Universities and non-profits looking to setup, operate or grow a lettings agency to help deliver best practice through a series of webinars and deep-dive site visits to our operation in Leicester.
