Rent Level Options - 2025/26

Rent Consultation 

Each year, around this time, we need to talk to you about the rent we are considering charging for the coming year and how we plan to budget that income so we can continue to invest in our properties and provide value for money services to you all. 

Why Do You Need to Increase Rent Levels?

We know that any rent increase is unpopular with tenants and we appreciate that many of you are still struggling with the rise in food, energy and general living costs. However, to enable us to invest in your properties we need to take into consideration the significant rise in the cost of delivering repairs and improvements to your homes. If we don’t look to increase rents we will have less money to spend on your homes, which includes installing new kitchens, bathrooms and upgrading heating systems. To cover all the things we want to do next year, ideally we would be needing more income than our rent increase proposal covers. This means that the Association will be looking at internal savings to ensure that we keep the rent increases at the level we are consulting on.

We are proposing the following 2 rent increase options for 2025/26:

• 5.5%

• 6%

Why Your Views Matters 

At Angus Housing Association we value your opinion and believe that it is important to involve tenants in decisions that will impact them. As we plan for the up-and-coming year, we want to give all tenants a voice in decisions that affect you, your home, and the services that you receive.

It’s important that we let you know the impact the proposed options for 2025/26 will have on the services we deliver for you, and on the level of rent you will pay.
