Article summary

The Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) has published updated guidance on annual rent increases for registered social housing providers, effective from April 2025. The update follows December 2024's publication of limits on annual rent increases for 2025-2026. The guidance operates alongside the 2020 Rent Standard, which resumed full application from 1 April 2024 following the end of the temporary 7% ceiling on increases that was in place during 2023-2024. The updates include adjusted tables for calculating permitted rent increases and maintain provisions for exemption applications from private registered providers.
