To set Affordable Rents for council properties for the purpose of lettings to new tenants at the same value as Affordable rents charged to existing tenants for 2023/24. This is a 7% increase against the 2022/23 Affordable rent value and therefore the same as the increase for social rents (subject to a separate Council decision).
The Council has 223 existing Affordable rent properties. The decision will not impact on the Affordable rent value for existing tenants. It will impact new tenants when the property is re-let.
