Rachel welcomes measures to reduce council rents

Council Houses The government has announced additional support to local authorities enabling them to keep rent for council tenants in 2009/10 down.  The average guideline rent increase for local authority tenants in 2009/10 will be halved from 6.2% to around 3.1 % to encourage councils to reduce the amount tenants would have to pay for the coming year.  The changes to the guideline rent increase means tenants should see a marked drop in their proposed average rent increase for the coming year from around £4 per week to approximately just under £2.
