How much are rents?
Housing Associations provide good quality housing at affordable rents to people who may find it difficult to get decent accommodation for a number of reasons.
Our rents are increased each year in April. They are based on a formula set out in government regulations which make sure that similar properties cost similar money in similar areas. They also allow an addition for inflation.
Rent is made up of:
- Rent for living in your property
- A service charge to cover any communal services you may have such as lighting or heating, maintenance or gardening requirements
- Council tax
The table below gives you an idea of what we charge for rent.
