We asked tenants and registered tenants organisations for their views on our rent consultation and a proposed rent increase of 5%.
95% of respondents said they were happy with the level of consultation and information they get about the annual rent increase
91% think the rent they pay is good value for money
79% said that they think the proposal to increase rents by 5% is fair
