Enclosed in this edition of the newsletter is a supplement which explains the way the Association invests your rent in the upkeep of your home. The rent you pay for your home is calculated using the Association’s rent policy, which was widely consulted on, before it was introduced in 2010. In 2010, the view was that larger properties with greater amenities, for example, a garden, parking space, additional toilet etc. would pay more. Your rent is determined by points based on the amenities within your property. For example a 1 bedroomed flat would have a cheaper rent than a 3 bedroomed house. We want to know if you still agree with this approach and we want to consult with you and talk about the best way of going forward so that over the next three years we agree with our tenants how rents and rent increases should be set.
