Every year the Council sets its council house rents and service charges for the coming year. The rent set is based on the cost of running the service and any new legislation and information gathered from consultations with elected members, tenants, and their representatives.
This process starts with the annual "How Your Rent is Spent" seminar, where Dundee City Council explains how rents are set and gives tenants an opportunity to tell the Council about their priorities for the Housing Service.
The next stage is this online survey asking your views on a number of priorities, so that it is clear what is most important to you. However, if you have a priority which is not on the list below, please add it to the ‘other’ box, stating what the priority is and ranking as you have the others.
Leaving your contact details is an important part of the consultation process, as it will allow Dundee City Council to update you on the survey results whilst keeping you informed about future events and consultations. Later in the year further consultation on the proposed rent levels for 2024/25 will take place.
The outcome of this survey and the rent consultation will be reported to Elected Members in January 2024, where the final decision on the rent level for next year will be agreed.
At the Seminar, which was held at the Steeple Church, Nethergate, Dundee on Saturday, August 19th 2023, we:
- Provided tenants with information about what their rent pays for
- Raised awareness of how rent levels are set
- Heard from Dundee Federation of Tenant Associations and their priorities
- Saw presentations from Tenancy & Estates and Housing Asset Management on what they do and future plans
- Heard from attendees what their priorities are
