Overview

Each year we write out to all our tenants, tenants and residents groups and East Lothian Tenants and Residents Panel on any proposals to increase rent. 

This is your opportunity to have your say on our proposed 2026/27 rent increase.   The views of our tenants are a key part of the process; the more taking part - the more accurately you are represented.  Copies of the documents we have sent out are attached below. 

Why your views matter

The money you pay in rent as a tenant goes towards the cost of providing you with the services you receive as a council tenant.  The main items of expenditure are repairs and maintenance, operating costs, employee costs and loan charges for borrowing costs which pays for our modernsiation and new build programmes.
