Our 2026/27 Rent Proposal
New Gorbals Housing Association is proposing a 4.8% rent and service charge increase for 2026/27. This figure is based on the September 2025 Consumer Price Index (CPI) which was 3.8%, plus 1%.
We have written to all tenants explaining the proposal and how it would affect them individually, and have included a survey to provide feedback. Letters were sent by post and by email, depending on contact preference. We will also send out a text reminder to tenants during the course of the consultation.
Tenants can find out more information on the proposal and what it means in our Your Rent publication. There will also be opportunity to meet with representatives from the Association at one of our Rent Workshops at the following events and meetings:
