RENT
INCREASE PROPOSAL FOR 2012/13
In August
2009, after full consultation with tenants, the Board agreed to a rent setting
policy that moved away from basing the annual rent increase on inflation, which
changes all the time, to a base increase of 3%. This meant that your actual
rent increase would vary around a guiding level of 3%, sometimes higher,
sometimes lower.
In April
2010 the rent increase was held at the 3% and in April 2011 the Board, aware of
the increasing financial pressures on tenants, held the rents with no increase
at all and took steps to improve the Partnership’s efficiency.
