If you are a tenant you will have either an assured or secure tenancy.

Assured tenants
In 2001 the Government introduced a new rent system for local authorities and Registered Social Landlords. Accent Nene is a registered social landlord. Their objective is that similar properties within the same areas should be charged similar rents. When calculating your rent we have to take into account the value and size of your property and local earning levels, this then give us a figure called the Target Rent. We aim to have all our residents paying target rent by 2012.

Each year your rent will be reviewing and adjusted so that it moves towards target rent. The amount that we can increase your rent by is limited by the government.

For more detailed information, please request our full Rent Setting Policy which you can do by by emailing the helpdesk at info@accentnene.org or calling on Freephone 0800 393890 or Lo-call 0845 603 7673.

Secure tenants - (sometimes known as fair rents).
The maximum amount of rent we can charge is set by The Rent Officer, this is known as the Registered Rent. Accent Nene are not allowed to charge above the Registered Rent. Generally we will charge you the same rent as for assured tenants if it is less than the Registered Rent.

Shared Owners
Your rent is set and increased in accordance with your lease. Please refer to your lease for further information. For further information see shared ownership responsibilities
