Rent review 2025
Latest news
RWP is your landlord. Rent is money paid to RWP. The money pays for your home and any repairs to it. It also includes service charges as well. Every year the rent you pay to us will be reviewed. This only happens once a year, no more. Any rents are invested into our homes and the services we provide.

Rent increase
In 2025 your rent will go up. We will let you know how much extra it will be.
What your rent pays for
- Repairs to your home: Where we are responsible for repairs to your home we spent over £2 million on repairing and maintaining homes. If you live in a house or flat that we do not own (so we lease it from the owner and rent it to you), the property owner may be responsible for carrying out repairs to your home.
- Building new homes: We spent £40 million on building new homes.
- Health and Safety: Where we are responsible for health and safety checks to your home, we spent over £2 million on making sure homes are safe with checks for gas, electric and fire safety.
- Saving energy in your home: for homes where we are responsible for repairs and maintenance, we spent over £600,000 on things like insulation and new boilers to help save energy.
Your rent does not pay for:
Your support worker: the person who helps you with the day-to-day support in your home.
- Some bills: such as broadband, food bills or furniture and appliances that belong to you.
- Health and Safety: Where we are responsible for health and safety checks to your home, we spent over £2 million on making sure homes are safe with checks for gas, electric and fire safety.
- Saving energy in your home: for homes where we are responsible for repairs and maintenance, we spent over £600,000 on things like insulation and new boilers to help save energy.
- Public space: your local council manages public roads, pavements, and open spaces.
- Personal items: you are responsible for things like your own appliances, carpets, and furniture.
Service charges
Where we provide services to you, we collect a service charge from you. This is a weekly charge and may cover things like cleaning, gardening, white goods (like cookers and washing machines), and heat and lighting in shared areas. For more information on your service charges or if you want to know what service charges are included in your rent, ask your housing officer or contact us on 0333 320 2675.
Tell us what you think about your rent
We would like to know what you think of the rent setting process. Call 0333 320 2675, email us or use our live chat on the website.
We have a virtual hub group where you can meet other tenants and have a chat, especially about your home and the services we provide. You can also chat about your rent at our next meeting and ask any questions that you have.
You can join our Microsoft Teams meeting on your computer, mobile app or room device. Our next meeting we will be on 14 January 2025 at 1:30pm and will last one hour.
