Following a transfer in 2004, Middlesbrough Council's housing is now owned and managed by Erimus Housing, a not-for-profit social landlord. 

Middlesbrough has over 57,412 homes, approximately, 66% of these are owner-occupier and around 19% are owned and managed by Erimus.  We aim to provide a wide choice of homes in Middlesbrough to meet resident's needs.
