Registered social landlords and changes in rent - 2000 - Roof 25(6) November/December 2000, 24(6) .

Looks at the Housing Corporation's third annual analysis of registered social landlords' performance in reducing rent increases. The research revealed: the average rent increase was down from 1999; the average change in rent for all large RSLs was 3.2%; RSLs with the highest rent levels obtained the lowest increases in rent; geographical diversity has little impact on whether rent increases are high or low; LSVT authorities had significantly higher rent increases while Black and Minority Ethnic RSLs had much lower rent increases than average; and RSLs with the lowest rent changes tend to have high proportions of assured stock. Concludes that generally RSLs are committed to reducing overall rates of increase. Tables.
