The purpose of this policy is to establish the principles and approach by which Stoke-on-Trent City Council will:
- set rent levels and service charges for its residential properties
 - set rent levels for its garages
 - deal with recovery of arrears for its residential properties and garages
 
within a viable and sustaining Housing Revenue Account (HRA) that enables the council to deliver effective value for money services, invest in its properties and provide new social housing to rent
