EKHA Tenant Consultations

2025/26 RENT REVIEW CONSULTATION

Every year EKHA’s Board must approve the annual budget, which includes the setting of the rent levels for our properties, EKHA’s primary source of income. We need to
ensure that the proposed budget enables us to cover all our projected running costs,
including the maintenance and improvement of the properties.

We are legally required to consult our tenants about any proposed rent increases, and to take account of their opinions before we make a final decision on how we will balance our budget. We have sent every EKHA tenant a letter starting the consultation process and a copy of the Board report giving details about our proposals is below.

We held a ‘Zoom’ tenant consultation event on 18th December 2024. Senior EKHA staff and Board members were present to provide further information and to answer questions.

We are also holding a face-to-face rent consultation event at EKHA Office, 2 Old Coach Road, East Kilbride on Wednesday 15th January 2025 at 7pm. Again, senior staff and Board members will be available to answer tenants’ questions.

We will then issue every EKHA tenant with a short survey to allow them to select which of the proposals they think is the most appropriate – details of the deadline for return of that survey will be clearly marked on this paperwork.

As for all our consultations, if you do not have access to online, or if you would like
consultation paperwork in a different format, please get in touch with Debbie McVean at the office to discuss what best suits your needs.
