Rent Consultation 2026-27
Thank you to all our tenants who responded to our rent consultation, which closed on 14 November 2025. We are now gathering together all the feedback we received and will present this to Councillors who will decide what the rent increase for 2026/27 will be at the Council's budget meeting in February 2026.
We will then write to tell you what your new rent and service charge will be. You should receive a letter at least 4 weeks before Monday 6 April 2026, which is the date that your payment will be adjusted, subject to the decision at the Council's budget meeting.
Help and support for tenants is available by calling us on our Freephone 0800 413 721 or email tenantconsultation@eastlothian.gov.uk
