Frequency of rent change

There are no limits to the number of times a client's calculated rate of Income Related Rent could change in a year.

How many times a client has a change each year depends on:

• how frequently they have a permanent change in circumstance
• the impact of that change on the clients calculated rate of Income Related Rent or
• any changes to the market rent rate for the property

An appropriate notice period for a rent increase must be given by the housing provider for every new calculated rate of Income Related Rent.
