Rent Setting 2014/15 ● Last year of ‘Rent convergence’ (Retail Price Index + 0.5% + convergence amount) ● From 2015/16 Govt. recommends rent increases by Consumer Price Index (CPI) +1% ● Self financing gives the council the freedom to set rent as it wants, but must consider long term effect of decisions
