FOI Request - Rent Algorithms

Request 101003456317

1. I am requesting information on any rent-prediction or rent-gathering algorithms used by the council. Please provide me a list of tools, either in-house or through a third-party agent, the council uses to:

a) Analyse the cost of housing in the area
b) Predict a tenant's ability to pay rent
c) Facilitate a tenant paying their rent

I would also like a copy of the most recent risk assessment of any algorithms that are used.

1. Not held. The Moray Council does not use any rent prediction or rent gathering algorithms. Information that is not held falls under Section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 - Information not held.
