The method we use to calculate individual rents for tenants is outlined below. This method was agreed with tenants as a fair and equitable way for individual rent levels to be calculated, and is used each year.
Based on a 52-week rent.
Step 1:
Everyone starts with the same base rent of £75.66 per week
Step 2:
Add or take away these amounts depending on the size of your property:
- Bedsit - take away £25.65
- 1 bedroom - take away £6.40
- 2 bedroom - keep it the same
- 3 bedroom - add £6.40
- 4 bedroom - add £12.82
- 5 bedroom - add £19.24
- 6 bedroom - add £25.65
Step 3:
Add or take away these amounts depending on the type of property you live in:
- Multistorey - keep it the same
- Flat - add £6.40
- Terraced - add £12.82
- Semi-detached house - add £19.24
- Detached house - add £25.65
Step 4:
Take away £6.40 if you live in a 'hard to heat' property.
