Review of Temporary Accommodation Rental Structures and Associated Costs

From: Cabinet - Monday 9 December 2024 5.00 pm - December 09, 2024

This proposal introduces a fixed utilities charge for households in temporary accommodation where utilities are currently included in rent. Around 10% of temporary accommodation households are not paying for their utilities directly, while the other 90% already cover these costs. Introducing this charge will create fairness across all households in temporary accommodation by ensuring that all households contribute equally towards their utility costs.
