Wealthier tenants on an east London housing estate will
pay more than their neighbours in a new rent scheme. Residents of the New Era
estate in Hoxton, Hackney, will be invited to pay new personalised rates from 1
January. Dolphin Living, which owns the estate, will analyse the financial
situation of tenants to establish a rent which will give them a good standard
of living. Those opting in to the personalised scheme will see their rent
increase by between £2.50 and £4 a week, taking an average weekly rent to
between £147.50 and £186. Those opting out of the scheme will see their rent
increase by inflation plus 4.5 per cent - or £8 to £12 a week for 2016. Read
more on the BBC website.
