Here at Mount Green, we considered all the factors and the potential impact rent increases may have on household finances.
In accordance with your tenancy or lease agreement we have applied an increase to rents from 1 April 2023. The reasons for doing so are set out in the letter and accompanying frequently asked questions you will have received. For further information, please click on the relevant button below.
We know that for some this may impact finances and we urge any resident who may feel this increase will affect their ability to make a payment to contact us as soon as possible. We have an In-House Welfare Benefits service available to help residents to seek cost of living support from third parties, financial help from Mount Green and other help where relevant. Please contact our Customer Experience Team on (01372) 379 555 and we will arrange for someone to call you back.
