Rent
a) Rent is payable to the council in full at the commencement of the tenancy and annually on 1 April thereafter (unless otherwise stated in the tenancy agreement).
b) Rent may be increased at any time provided the council takes reasonable steps to give all tenants 12 months’ notice. An accidental failure to give notice to an individual tenant will not invalidate that tenant’s rent increase.
c) Failure to keep up with rent payments will result in your tenancy being terminated.
d) Allotment gardens on council managed allotment sites are charged at a rate per square meter of land occupied.
e) Allotment gardens on all sites with water provided may be charged an additional rate.
f) Tenants must be at least national state pension age to qualify for any senior discounts.
g) Applications for senior discounts must be submitted in writing to the souncil before 1 April.
