Results of rent increase consultation

As part of the partnership with Cairn Housing Association, Ancho tenants have an affordable rent guarantee which means rents will be raised at Consumer Price Index (CPI) only. This year that meant a 0.5% increase.

We wrote to all tenants in December to ask your views on the proposed 0.5% rent increase for 2021/22.
 
A total of 4 responses were received. This represents 0.6% of all letters issued. Of those that responded, two tenants were positive towards the proposed increase, and two held negative views towards the proposals.

Our Board met at the beginning of February to discuss the results of the consultation and, after considering all of the responses, have agreed to approve the proposed 0.5% rent increase. This will be applied from 1 April 2021.
