Tell us what you think about rent levels for 2026/27.
HAVE YOUR SAY!
Let us know what you think about our proposed rent increase and how it may affect you.
As your landlord, we are committed to maintaining safe, secure and high-quality homes for everyone. However, our costs continue to go up, meaning we need to implement a rent increase to continue providing our services. The increase has come about due to:
- Current financial pressures
- Rising costs
- Addressing Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC)
We want to keep providing you with good quality services, including improvements and upgrades to your homes. We need to ensure we have enough income to achieve this, which is why we are considering raising the rent by 6.5% next year.
You will note that in previous years we have provided more than one option when consulting on a proposed increase. Following the feedback received, we have decided to only propose one option this year. This is based on the minimum level of increase required to maintain services at their current level.
No decisions have been made yet, and please be assured that we will think carefully before making any changes to the rent. We are committed to:
- keeping any increase as fair and affordable as possible
- Consulting with tenants before making any changes
- Providing support services for tenants who need extra help
For more information on what the rent increase would be used for, how our costs have risen and what we've spent rent money on in 2024/25, please view our rent review leaflet.
We have sent a feedback survey to all tenants by text, email or post. Please use the link in the text or email to complete the survey, or post the form back using the prepaid envelope enclosed.
