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

household income rises further above the threshold. Read more on Inside
