In February 2019 the Government issued a Direction to the Rent Standard and a Policy Statement on Rents for Social Housing. These have enabled Local Authorities to be able to increase rents from 1 April 2020 by CPI + 1%.
In order to bring the legislation together, continue the delivery of affordable housing and provide transparency on how the Council sets rent for its properties, the Housing Department has produced a draft Social Housing Rents Policy.
The Housing Scrutiny Panel considered the report on 4 February 2021 and had no comments for the Executive.
An Equality Impact Assessment has been undertaken and has not identified any impacts for the protected characteristics.
