    Social housing: pay to stay at market rents

    Tuesday, 22 November, 2016

    This House of Commons Library briefing paper provides information on the pay to stay scheme in England under which social landlords can charge tenants with an income of over £60,000 market or near market rents. The Government included measures in the Housing and Planning Act 2016 to make higher rents compulsory for council tenants earning over £40,000 in London and £31,000 elsewhere. On 21 November 2016 the Government announced that the mandatory pay to stay scheme would not be introduced. Councils and housing associations retain discretion over whether or not to implement higher rents for tenants with higher incomes.
