Consultations - Rent Consultation 2023/24 - 2025/26

We received 527 responses.

The findings of the survey informed the Midlothian Council Housing rent levels for 2023/24 - 2025/26 and the number of new build homes which could be built as a result.

Complete the survey

We needed to consult with all tenants and housing list applicants and ask for their views on future rent charges for the 3 year period of 2023/24 – 2025/26.  

Future rent charges:

• Support the continuing investment in the council’s existing housing stock, for example, kitchen and bathroom upgrades
• Determine the number of new build homes which will be built beyond those which are already in progress
• Support the Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing (EESSH) to improve the energy efficiency of social housing

Councillors reviewed the survey in February 2023 and what people told us then shaped the new strategy.
