How is my rent worked out?

Your rent is worked out using a formula set by the government, which all councils and registered social landlords use.

It takes into account:

  • average manual wages in Greater London
  • the value of your home
  • the number of bedrooms in your home

Your rent may be different to your neighbours because you have more bedrooms or your home is valued higher - for example, because it has a garden.

Location is also a factor in working out the value of a home. We will give you at least four weeks written notice of any change to your rent, service charge, heating or other charges.
