Coventry Homefinder uses a banding scheme to prioritise applications.
All applications received for rented accommodation will be assessed and placed in one of 3 bands. The table below sets out the banding scheme and gives examples of those applicants who would be eligible to be placed in each band.
75% of properties advertised will prioritise bidders by banding. 25% will be prioritised by registration date only.
| Band | Criteria | Examples |
| Band 1 | Very urgent needs |
Statutory homeless Decants - following demolition or redevelopment Violence and harassment Severe overcrowding Severe medical issues Releasing specialised accommodation - for example disabled persons bungalows Two or more priorities in band 2 |
