How we work out your rent

We have set your rent by following a Government formula called ‘rent restructuring’.

 

Rent restructuring is the Government’s method of getting fair, consistent rents for social landlords across the country by the year 2012. This means that homes of a similar age, value and type, and in the same area, will in time have similar rents, known as the ‘target rent’.

 

Your rent is based on

 

  • the number of bedrooms in your home
  • the average wage in the area compared to that of the country as a whole
  • how much your home was worth in January 1999
  • the national average rent
  • the national average property value

 

To prevent your rent increasing too high, the Government has set a ‘rent capping’ system.

 

If you have any further queries about rent, please contact Revenues.
