Torus operate one of the longest running furniture schemes in the UK. They provide social housing for almost 40,000 households in the North West of England, including 15,000 in the Liverpool region where their furniture scheme operates. They have over 1600 furnished properties and currently introduce around 250 new furnished tenancies every year. Torus offers a furnished tenancy to any new tenant, subject to an affordability check, and less than 5% of their furnished tenancies are ended by tenants in favour of an unfurnished tenancy. Torus allocate around 800 properties a year with approximately 30% of those being furnished tenancies, managed by a Furnished Tenancy team of two full-time staff.
