Rent Increase

The Rent Increase 2025/26 web page provides context to why we are considering these rent increase options. Please click on the link given.

1. Do you receive Housing Costs assistance with Universal Credit or Housing Benefit to help with your rent?
2. Do you think the rent you pay represents good value for money?
3. To afford and not adjust our current financial business plan for the next 5 years we require a minimum of 10% (on average £8.56 per week) increase for 2025/26. Do you feel this increase would be appropriate?
4. If you feel that a 10% increase is not appropriate, what if any would you feel, from the other options above would be appropriate?
5. It is important that we take account of what current and prospective tenants and other customers are likely to be able to afford. As the Council’s current rent is below the average in Scotland, do you think the rent charged by Clackmannanshire Council is affordable?
6. Do you have any other views you wish to share
