Rent Level Consultation 2025-26

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. 

We value your views on our proposed rent increase and this consultation is an important opportunity to have your say on our proposals and plans for continued improvements in 2025-26.  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 loan charges, repairs and maintenance, operating and employee costs.   We know that the current financial climate is difficult with continuing increases in food and energy costs.  Therefore it is important that you have your say on our proposals, please take a few minutes to complete our online questionnaire, we urge you to take part in this consultation and let us know your views.
