John Alexander, convener of Dundee City Council's Housing Committee, said: "The new Common Housing Register means that anyone who applies to any of the landlords in the scheme will be on a single waiting list. They can then be offered housing by any of the four landlords who will now be able to target appropriate houses toward those most in need."

Ian Thomson chief executive of Abertay HA, added: "Our experience of the Common Housing Register has been excellent. It is really simple to use as tenants only need to complete one form to unlock access to a wider choice of homes across Dundee."
