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.
This year's event will be held on Tuesday 8 September 2026, between 10am and 1.30pm at the Steeple Church, Nethergate, Dundee.
At the event we will:
- Provide tenants with information about what their rent pays for.
- Raise awareness of how rent levels are set.
- Hear from Dundee Federation of Tenants' Associations about their priorities.
- See presentations from housing services.
- Hear from attendees what their priorities are.
Spaces are extremely limited, so please book to secure a place. Refreshments and a buffet lunch will be provided. To book, contact Mark Cooper by:

Running alongside this event is an online survey, where tenants are asked for views on several priorities, so that it's clear what is most important to customers. If a participant has a priority which is not listed, this can be added to the 'other' box, stating what the priority is and ranking it as they have the others.
If you cannot attend the seminar, you can still take part. The survey is from 27 August and closes on 24 September 2026. Results inform the options for the Rent Consultation later in the year.
Leaving contact details is an essential part of the consultation process, as it will allow Dundee City Council to manage how it conducts surveys, such as this, whilst keeping participants informed about results, future events and consultations. Later in the year further consultation on the proposed rent levels for 2027/28 will take place.
The outcome of this survey and the rent consultation will be reported to Elected Members in January 2027, when the final decision on the rent level for the next year will be agreed.
