Current Cannock Chase Council Consultations

Tenancy Agreement - Consultation 2024/25

The Council intends to make changes to its introductory/secure tenancy agreement. The reasons for making the proposed changes are:
• The current tenancy agreement has been in use since 2010, and it now needs up-dating as a result of changes in the law, regulation and general accepted good practice.
• The proposed new tenancy agreement is a completely new, re-written document which is now set out in clearly headed sections based on rights and responsibilities rather than on subject areas. We believe that this will make the tenancy agreement easier to read and understand.

By law we are required to consult tenants on the proposed new tenancy agreement as once the consultation has been completed and the Council’s Cabinet have approved it, this will become the new tenancy agreement, subject to any further changes we make because of consulting with you.

Rent Increase Consultation 2024/25

Cannock Chase District Council, like most social landlords, considers what, if any, rent increase should be applied for its tenants each year. The new rent is normally applied on the first Monday in April, until the last Monday of March the following year.

For 2025/26, the Council is proposing to increase council housing rents by 2.7% from 7 April 2025. This compares to an increase of 7.7% in 2024/25.

This webpage sets out frequently asked questions about the rent increase process, why the increase is proposed, how our rents compare and how you can send in your views about the proposals.

The consultation is open and will close at 5pm on Friday 17 January 2025.
