Rent Enquiries
As a tenant of Carrick on Suir Town Council, your weekly rent is assessed each year according to the total family income of your household. The incomes of every person living in your house must be disclosed and the rent is then assessed in accordance with the Differential Rent Scheme. This scheme is income related and as such means that if your income goes up then the rent goes up, if it goes down, the rent goes down accordingly. If at any stage, your household income changes, you should notify the Housing Department in order to have your rent reassessed.
