Housing Options Guide 1b

1b. Rent levels for our properties

The amount of rent we charge for our properties is set by:

• Applying a baseline rent to all of our properties.
  • The baseline rent is the rental charge for a two bedroom semi detached property. This is the most common type of house in our stock.

• Considering the attributes of each property.  The following attributes are given points which are then converted into a money value:
  • Property size
  • Property type
  • Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating
  • Parking
  • Garden
  • Additional toilet
  • Sheltered housing (applicable to Larch Court)

You can read more in our Rent Setting Policy and in our Rent Setting Policy leaflet. The values that we give each attribute set out in our policy is detailed here. 

We use a separate policy to set the charge for our homeless temporary accommodation. You can read more at www.moray.gov.uk/temporaryaccommodationchargingpolicy.
