Consultation on rent charges for East Ayrshire Council properties in 2026-2027 and 2027-2028
We are asking you to take part in this year’s rent consultation.
Please note we are asking you to choose your options for both years - 2026-2027 and 2027-2028.
This year, the rent setting consultation period will run from 1 December 2025 to 23 January 2026
Respond and get the chance to win!
ALL tenants who submit a response will be entered into a draw to win a £100 East Ayrshire Giftcard.
We will use the feedback to prepare a report for a meeting of East Ayrshire Council in February 2026 at which Elected Members will decide the level of rent increase for Council tenants in the years 2026-2027 and 2027-2028.
We will then write to inform you what your new rent charge will be for 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 at least four weeks in advance of any change that may occur.
Ensuring that we strike the best balance in terms of the sustainability of our assets, address poorly performing stock, work to meet our energy efficiency ambitions and understand the impact of the cost-of-living crisis has never been more difficult.
Effective asset management is fundamental to the successful delivery of the Council’s objectives and to do this, we need to ensure that rents are set appropriately in order to provide stability to both the Council and tenants.
Please read The Tenants Rent Consultation document on this page for more information before making your choices and then submit your response below.

To pay for the significant housing investment required, based on our plan to improve existing Council houses and provide more new homes, we must borrow money and make repayments over a number of years. Part of the money you pay goes towards servicing these loan charges so we can deliver the modernisation and new build programme. The Housing Capital Investment Programme sets out how much money the Council plans to spend on improving existing Council houses and providing new ones.
