Caerphilly County Borough Council tenants face rent hike of 3%

News | | Published: 13:30, Monday February 4th, 2019.

Council tenants are facing a 3% rent hike from April after councillors approved the move last week.

Cllr Lisa Phipps, the Cabinet Member responsible for council tenants, said: “The council is committed to keeping rents affordable for tenants, with annual increases set in line with Welsh Government rent setting policy.

“The agreed 3% increase for the next financial year is below the 4.74% increase allowed within current Welsh Government policy, but still enables the council to sustain the level we need to borrow to deliver the Welsh Housing Quality Standard programme, maintain our housing stock and continue providing support to our tenants.”
