Outcomes from Tenant Survey on 2024-25 Rent Consultation

Back in early December 2023 we sent out information to all tenants on what we proposed the rent setting would be for 2024-25. We asked tenants what they thought of this proposal, as well as the opportunity for them to share their thoughts on current rent levels and the Association in general. Now that the closing date for survey returns has passed, we can share this feedback.
