Council housing rent rise 2010-11
Council housing rents are set to rise this year by an average of £2.60 a week. The rent level has been set in line with Government guidelines and still means that Lambeth's rents are well below the highest council rents in London.
We are responsible for repairs to communal areas of your housing estate including stairs, door entry systems, communal lighting, landings, communal windows, courtyards and sheds.
