Other housing news: 2013 rent setting
Tenants at the North Lambeth Area Housing Forum on Tuesday were pleased to hear that service charges will be reduced this year, and rents increased by only around 4%. Lambeth Housing's finances are in a significantly better shape than before, and services are improving. However, service charges for concierges are going to increase significantly, to reflect the true cost of providing the service, but the Council will be doing an intensive piece of work to reduce the costs of the service and make service charges fairer.
