Social rent
The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government in December 2024, suggests that Social Rent: ‘meets all of the following conditions: (a) the rent is set in accordance with the Government’s rent policy for Social Rent; (b) the landlord is a registered provider; and (c) it includes provisions to remain at an affordable price for future eligible households, or for the subsidy to be recycled for alternative affordable housing provision.’
The Charter for Social Housing Residents, Social Housing White Paper, published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) in November 2020, defines social rent as: ‘…low cost rent set in accordance with a government formula.’
It defines the social rented sector as: ‘…homes for rent that are owned and managed by local authorities and private registered providers.’
Housing statistics and English Housing Survey, glossary, published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities in 2019, defines social rent as: ‘Affordable housing that is rented at social housing rents, usually owned and managed by local authorities and private registered providers, for which target rents are determined through the national rent regime (see social housing rents). It may also include rented housing, managed by other persons and provided under equivalent rental arrangements to the above.’
