Social tenants earning just above the new ‘pay to stay’
threshold are unlikely to be hit by a dramatic increase in their rents, with
the government expecting to bring in a ‘tapered’ system. Government sources
have told Inside Housing that the policy, which comes into effect in April
2017, is ‘likely’ to contain a taper. This means social tenants earning just
above the £30,000 threshold (£40,000 in London) may not immediately have to pay
market or near market rent. Instead, rent will be gradually increased as
household income rises further above the threshold. Read more on Inside
