Our latest Tenant pulse is focused on one of the biggest issues in Housing right now, rent consultation and rent setting

Our second Rent Setting Consultation Survey Report is now live!

Our latest Tenant pulse is focused on one of the biggest issues in Housing right now, rent consultation and rent setting. We are pleased to be able to publish our report to the public with our insights. 

Our Tenant Pulse reports offer insight into the thoughts and perceptions of tenants across Wales and this report reflects that. Our Rent Setting Consultation Survey reflects the voices of tenants from all 22 Local Authority areas in Wales and from a wide range of backgrounds. 

We believe the findings and recommendations offer valuable insight into the challenges tenants are experiencing right now, and how tenants feel about their homes and rent at this crucial time as we walk through the cost-of-living crisis as a society. Unlike last year, we have considered service charges and landlord communication around rent changes and financial hardship.  

Tenant Pulse is the official Wales-wide panel for tenants giving their views on the things that matter right to them. It was created 5 years ago by TPAS Cymru (under a programme of work supported by Welsh Government). It’s run quarterly on topical issues to help shape housing policy in Wales. It covers tenants of both social housing (Housing Associations and Council housing) plus private renters and those in supported housing. 

Report name: The 2nd Annual Rent Setting Consultation Survey. 

Lead author: Elizabeth Taylor
