The Repair and Leasing Scheme (RLS) was developed to assist private property owners and local authorities or approved housing bodies to harness the accommodation potential that exists in vacant dwellings. At end Q3 2020, a total of 198 dwellings had been brought back into use under the RLS scheme. Up-to-date data in relation to dwellings delivered by each local authority under RLS is available on my Department's website at the following link:
