DIFFERENTIAL RENTING

A BOLD SCHEME IN, LEEDS

The Housing Committee of tho Leeds Corporation has just recom- monded a scheme of rent rebates which goes further than any at- tempt hitherto made to adjust tho ronts of municipal tenants to their ability to pay, Thoro is avery prospect that tho. scheme will be massed by the City Council, and if It is the outcome will be anxiously. watched by other local authorities.

No new principle is involved: the Greenwood Act expressly em- nowered the charging' of different rents to different tenants, and twenty-one towns which have built houses under this Act have act side part of their subsidy `ng`a nool from which small abatements are allowed to families whose in- Come falls short of a avecífled

scale. The amount claimable is in

H cases limited by the fixing of minimum rent which must be Inaid, whatever the circumstances of

the tenant.

The most startling proposal ́in he Leeds scheme in the absence of any such limit to the amount front which may be rebated. Families in municipal houses will Hve rent and rates free if their total Income falls below the Following standard:-

Subsidy and Rebates.

Instead of setting aside only a fraction of the subsidy for the payment of rebates the Leeds Housing Committee proposcs that the whole of it-averaging 5s, to dd. per house-should be used in this way. The normal rent is to be the full unsubsidised rent, and la to be charged to all who can afford it. This method of ensur ing that only those who need relief are obtaining it is both just and economical. Ability to pay varies not only from one familly to au other, but within the lifetime of the same family, and the scheme provides for corresponding in- erenso in rent as children grow up and their earnings are added to the household income, or if for any other reason the family becomes more properous.

Few towns have even consider- ed the possibility of grading rents on houses built before the 1030 Act. But if the Leeds experiment works well it will almost certainly be followed by others, and a new phase in housing history will have bogun.
