Rent Consultation 

As we near this time of year, it’s important for us to engage in discussions with tenants on the rent levels we are considering for the coming year. We want to ensure that you, our tenants have a voice and your views are taken into account when we make our final rent setting decision.


Why Do You Need to Increase Rent Levels?

Angus Housing Association, like similar organisations across the housing sector, continues to be faced with significant cost pressures as we plan for the future. These include –

  • The rise in cost of materials and labour to repair, maintain and improve our tenants’ homes
  • Increasing expenses for energy efficiency upgrades to meet Scottish Government standards
  • Borrowing costs, with interest rates remaining at around 4%.

We are committed to ensuring our rents remain as affordable as possible; however, we must also balance this with maintaining and upgrading our properties and providing all other services to you.


We are proposing the following 2 rent increase options for 2026/27:

  • 6%
  • 7%

Why Your Views Matters 

At Angus Housing Association we value your opinion and believe that it is important to involve tenants in decisions that will impact them. As we plan for the up-and-coming year, we want to give all tenants a voice in decisions that affect you, your home, and the services that you receive.

It’s important that we let you know the impact the proposed options for 2026/27 will have on the services we deliver for you, and on the level of rent you will pay.

Please read the full rent consultation booklet that you should’ve received by email, or post if we don’t hold an email address for you. The booklet explains the proposals and what they could mean for you before you share your views.
