Tenant Voice Cymru Forum: Rent Convergence Unpacked

Thursday 15th of October, 11am-12:30pm.

Rent remains to be one of the biggest topics in housing for tenants. It has huge implications for how people are able to afford to not only live in their homes, but afford to live in general.

Join us for an online Tenant Voice Cymru Forum event exploring one of the most talked-about (and still widely misunderstood) topics in Welsh housing policy: rent convergence.

While rent convergence is often referenced in policy discussions, there is still no single clear or shared understanding of what it means or how it would work as part of developing an affordability framework in Wales.

Which is exactly why you need to come along to this tenant-only forum, where you’ll have a breakdown of rent convergence as a topic, directly from Repa Antonio, Rent Policy Lead from Welsh Government, and Louise Huxtable, Social Rent Policy Implementation Lead. They’ll be there to give you information and answer your important questions.

This session aims to make the topic more accessible and open the conversation for tenants. Stay in the know and empower yourself with information on rent convergence, as Wales develops its future approach to rent setting and affordability.

Whether you have never heard of rent convergence before, are familiar with the topic, or want to learn more, this is the event for you.

What the session will cover

• What rent convergence is - and what it is not
• The link to Wales’ developing affordability framework
• What it could mean for tenants and housing providers
• Open discussion and Q&A

This session is suitable for: Tenants only and it’s free to attend
