Rent Setting Consultation 2026-2027 and 2027-2028

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.

Our plans and how we spend the Housing Revenue Account (rent income) budget will have an impact on your home and your community. More information and useful support contacts can be found in the booklet on the Consultation on rent charges for East Ayrshire Council properties in 2025-2026 homepage.

 Please note we are asking you to choose your options for years 2026-2027 and 2027-2028

East Ayrshire Council consults annually with tenants, tenants and residents groups and the East Ayrshire Federation of Tenants and Residents (EAF) on our proposals relating to rent setting.

This year, the rent setting consultation period will run from 1 December 2025 to 23 January 2026 inclusive.
