Rent Consultation Statement for 2025/2026
It is not too late to take part in the rent increase consultation, take part here. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MCRC-2025-26, open until 23rd December.
Our statement on this years options are as follows. Many thanks to those tenants and staff who took the time to attend our recent meeting about the rent consultation and the options.
'The DFTA are pleased that the options given for this rent increase keep affordability in mind, particularly with the continued increasing costs in providing services to tenants.
We would encourage tenants to consider that there is only 44p difference in average weekly rent between option 1 and 3 but this would allow £283,000 extra income into the housing rental pot, providing over £5 million in capital expenditure. This would mean much needed additional investment in the housing stock, including the reinstatement of the window replacement program, and the modernisation of kitchen and bathrooms- all of which we support.'
